Shown and told: we've run out of things my first-grader can share!

Article Abstract:

There are strict peer-generated rules as to what can be brought to a first grade class for 'show and tell' time. A mother is frantic because she can't find anything left for her child to take to school. Bringing an object more than once is taboo, and fast food give-away toys are also unacceptable.
