Because when you see a child, in November, December, without a tuque, no tuque on their head or… I have a friend who was a teacher and she said the children came back from lunch with their feet all wet, and they had a little pair of warm woollen socks to put on their feet. The parents appreciate it too. A lot. A lot more than people think. They returned the pair of socks, washed, nice and clean, and: “Thanks very much for… looking after my daughter’s or my son’s feet” and so on. Even mittens. Children often lose things, eh? Uh, it gets put in a box, but they don’t look in there! [Laughter] That’s fine, it’s easier to just go find new ones and… Yes, a lot for schools.
