Dear pre-school

Dear pre-school, thanks for making such nice excursions and for telling both parents and kids to pack the backpacks with stuff needed for a successful outing. Joel and I packed his bag with an orange, a thing to sit on and a hat, just like you requested. Then I went to a different room to check on baby Niki. When I returned, the backpack was suspiciously heavy.

I opened the zipper to find

1. A toy poodle
2. A car
3. Ronald McDonald in a car
4. A hippo
5. A zebra
6. A Kung Fu panda
7. A purple camera
8. A rubber duck
9. A bouncing ball
10. A cow
    
11. A dinosaur
12. A book on sharks

Joel tells me you said he needed to pack all those items for your 1-hour outing. Is this true?
