So my son was born on May 1st, 2016. I frantically reached out to all my eBay customers to tell them I am going to be delayed making shipments or they could get a refund if that was not acceptable. All were kosher with waiting.

For those who know me best, I recycle like a fiend. I hate wasting and ruining our environment. I will use recycled bubbles, scrap paper to write addresses on and tape them down over top of the used bubbles etc.

Well I was looking for a TODO list that I had created and could not plumb find anywhere. Lo and behold I get a message back from a guy in the USA.

Hey 99..

Thanks for the shipment but I think you packed something that was not meant for me. I am glad you told me you and your wife just had a baby boy because this note would have turned me off from buying from you at all anymore in the future.

Given that you probably need a reminder, here are the contents of the note. Mind you your handwriting sucks but here goes..

Retrieve Breast Pump from baby box --> I hope this is for your wife and not you.
Get the good quality diaper rash cream.. blue tin --> Blue Tin? Get Gold and Blue.. that's the cream of the crop..
Find Genie for smell *** diapers and get the refill. BLUE ONE.. not GREEN
Laundry detergent for baby --> Ever thought of writing a product name??
Baby Oil --> Ok makes sense
Coconut Oil --> What the hell do you plan on using this for?

Something that starts with the letter B and ends in what looks like a C..
I think you were trying to tell yourself Baby boocs but that is actually booKs, not boocs -- I am a teacher, so just doing my job.

Gin and Tonic --> Although I suggest a nice scotch but to each their own.
Tofu --> I hope to dear God that this for a meal for you and the wife and not for baby until many months later
Wipes for the poop. -- You could have just said baby wipes
S H I T Tickets ---> Are you talking about Toilet Paper? If yes, I laughed for days on this.

You come across as a well articulated individual, I am hoping you were dead tired when you wrote this note. However thanks for the good laugh. I have never ever had this happen before and congrats to your little one. Again, please tell me what you intend do with the coconut oil? Maybe I don't want to know..

Yes it's a slight bit embarrassing but if it makes you all laugh, then its well worth the share.

Enjoy your night

One can only wonder if Eli has ever misplaced his list and what the reaction would have been(or if authorities were contacted)....lmao
