The Three Wise Men Didn't Know How to Shop for Kids

Seriously, though, frankincense and myrrh are actually just plant resin. And yes, the three (reportedly) wise men probably had reasonable justifications for choosing these symbolic gifts and all that, but did they really think the God-baby needed more than one kind of expensive tree gum?

I mean, I rarely find myself in a position where I'm forced to say, "Damn, if I only had obtained multiple kinds of resin prior to that situation, things might have turned out differently."
