Hurting the economy?

I think we may be negatively effecting the governments attempt to get people to spend more money to help the economy. For the past month I have been potty training Paxton, and can officially say he is potty trained! How could this decrease spending by very much you ask? Our kids have always had allergies to certain types of diapers. With Alyssa, Jayden and Gavin we went through every different brand of diaper to find out they were allergic to all of them except Huggies. When Paxton came along we decided to stop "trying " other brands and just go straight to Huggies. So we did and then he developed a rash. Not a little one, when you took the diaper off he had a bright red rash everywhere it had been. So, the experimentation began and we discovered he was allergic to every brand except for Pampers. We have spent so much money with these companies through the years that we think we should be able to cash in the "points" collected off the packages for shares of stock instead of the prizes offered. But now that he is potty trained we are no longer going to be pumping as much money into the diaper industry. I am sorry if the economy falters because of our actions. But don't worry, because of other allergies we'll still continue buying the other expensive products such as Dreft detergent and soy milk to help do our part.

Wow, stocks are going to plummet. Thank you for the warning! I never knew your kids had so many allergies. You must be relieved to know you'll have a much heavier wallet these days! :)
