MSN was taking a poll about the worst present you've ever received. I almost got a bad present this year, but I was saved. My mom was all excited to give me a steam mop, but had to take it back b/c I already own one. When I was a too-cool 12-year old, my grandmother gave me red overalls with an Orphan Annie patch on the pocket. It wouldn't have been so bad, but my mother actually made me wear them-and often.
The weirdest present (that wasn't a gag gift) was to my Dad from his mom (my other grandma). The card on the outside said something like, "these were your fathers and I didn't know what to do w/ them, but thought you should have them." I was expecting maybe some of his WWII medals, since my father was the only of his brothers to join the military. I was wrong. Inside was a tiny vile dated sometime in the 50's or 60's and inside was...drum roll please...my grandfathers kidney stones.
I've always thought of another present papa got that was pretty funny...
ReplyDeleteI believe the card said "Because blue is your favorite color." And the present was a blue frog is a mouse trap!
also from his mother
