To think my sister in law won't want her bag back? (Very trivial)

[Cathycomehome]

We went over to my mum's today to see them and my brother and sil and their baby, who is five months older than ours. It was very lovely to see them, particularly as they live a couple of hundred miles away. My sil gave me some baby clothes my nephew has outgrown in a coop bag, not a plastic one, but one of those canvas use again ones.

They left to catch their train, and as we were leaving a bit later, my mum says, "Don't forget to post X's bag back to her".

Then, when I spoke to my mum on the phone later to say were back, she again says, "Oh, you won't forget to post that bag back to x, will you?"

Am I missing something? Will my sil actually want me to post her coop bag back to her, or is my mum being mental??

I have just had a baby and have received three 'bags for life' full of baby clothes from different people. None of them have indicated they want them back :)

I wouldn't put a gift (or something I was lending) in a bag that I wanted back either (agree with WelshMaenad)

Your mum is being bonkers.

Another who thinks your mum is, erm....worrying unnecessarily!
If I had baby clothes to give to someone, then I'd probably put them in one of those canvas bags too - because to me that would somehow seem nicer than a plastic carrier bag, but I wouldn't expect the bag back. I'd deliberately use one I didn't need back!
