(Actor enters. Okay, no pretense, it's me, and I am holding a hundred bags!)
I am the original bag lady! I love bags! Especially plastic bags, the ones they used to give away for free....and now, here in the land of California, I must remember to bring them to the store, and if I don't, I must pay for those bags. Then I bring them home, and my husband lovingly folds and puts them into rubber-banded packets of five. Which I put into the car....and which I promptly forget when I go into the store!
Everyone said I would remember in a month, then two months, and now it is SEVEN months!
What can I do? There are now five bags of bags in my car - each bag containing 20 packets of five bags, so, 100 bags in each bigger bag times 5 - that's five hundred bags! Times ten cents each! That's fifty dollars!
Then I had an idea - after the one time in seven months I remembered. I had a bag of 100 bags with me, and when I was in line, I saw that, out of 10 people in lines around me - ONLY ONE PERSON had remembered her bags!
So I handed out my bags......to everyone who wanted them. And they were smiling!
I made a few new friends, and I told everyone that when they remember and bring their bags of bags, pass them around to others. This way we all win - we save money by not buying bags we don't need - we help others who have forgotten, and we help save the planet - a win-win-win!
So you can do this, too! Please, pass it forward - when you remember!
(Exits to share the bag wealth)

Based on a true story - mine! So please do pass along the bags - when you remember to bring them!
Thanks for being part of the solution.
