Mystery Solved…Kind Of?

I thought I would follow up on the "Belt Mystery".
I emailed Karah's teacher today:

Hey there-

Do you happen to know what’s up with the Belt situation? Karah came home with a bag full of womens belts and said that Alex was selling them to teachers and kids. She said Alex gave them to her as a Christmas present??? Do you have Alex’s mom’s email address so I can make sure this was an intended gift and not a raid of her mother’s closet?

Thanks,

Sarah

She replied:

Hello!

That’s funny about the belts…one of her parents must work for a belt vendor or something.  She was giving them to her teachers for Christmas presents.  Her mom’s email is _____. 

Have a great day!

I emailed the belt dealer's mother:

Hi Lori – I am Karah's mom from Alex’s class at school. Karah came home with several belts yesterday and said that they were a gift from Alex. I wanted to make sure that she hadn’t raided your closet or something before I let Karah accept the gift. Thanks!

Sarah

She responded:

Sarah,

Yes, they are a gift.

Mystery Solved? Kind of?

Sadly I don't feel any more settled about this situation. I am still lacking the answer of which I crave....from whence did the belts come? 

That's ALL she had to say about it? ….

"Yes, they are a gift." (?????)

Where did the mass quantities of belts come from and why are they being passed out to children?
