Is It Really The Thought That Counts?


Tell me the worst gift you have ever received from a significant other. Mine comes from a high school boyfriend and has yet to be topped.

His Dad had passed away when he was younger and while we were dating he went to the cemetery to visit. I was happy to see him later that day especially when I saw he had a tall box in his arms which I knew just had to be long stemmed roses. And they were! Only they were of the fake variety. You know…. the kind you would buy for a gravestone. Yes, that’s right, I received flowers from a cemetery.

  2. Where's the gratitude? Guy gives you a gift of artificial (possibly haunted) flowers that would last forever (and most likely creep the bejeezus out of the family dog) and you scoff at them?

    Why couldn't you be like Sassypants over there? She had misgiving about her boyfriend's gift and his intentions. But did she let that stop her? No! She accepted the gift in the spirit it was given, chugged it down and then later she... did stuff. And now she's got emotional scars that will last a lifetime. You can't put a price on that sort of thing.

  3. So alcohol will lower my expectations? I'm going to get started on that right away! And thanks for telling me that my flowers may have possibly been haunted. They just became the coolest freakin' flowers ever! But alas I do not have them anymore. You've made me sad. So very sad.
