Yesterday's Daf-Yomi treasure (Shabbat 10b, if you're interested):
Idea that if you give somebody a present, you should tell them about it. For an adult, this is easy. But for a child, who isn't legally considered capable of receiving information, what should you do? You should tell its mother.
In what manner should you tell its mother? Well, if you gave the child a sandwich, you should...get this...put oil on the kid's head and draw around his eyes with eyeliner, so that his mother will say "what on earth happened to you?" and the child will say "X gave me a sandwich."
?!
Alternatively, if people will think that you were doing that for nefarious purposes, you should wipe some of the sandwich on his head, so that the mother will realise her kid has been eating a sandwich someone gave him.
One would think there would be easier ways of doing it.
