Ungrateful gift receivers...whats up with that?
I posted before that I got all my gifts from Dooney & Bourke this year (except for the BIL).
I REALLY nice large cashmere scarf (made in scotland) for the fFIL and some suade mittens as well. He opens it up and says (I swear I wanted to kill him) “oh look, a scarf, hrm.” And the other? “Mittens? Wow who knew adults wore such things, last time I saw mittens I was five”. I had to leave the room. Made an excuse of going upstairs to get the SIL & BIL. Those mittens were expensive and high quality and that scarf was luxurious! All this from a millionaire man who gave me a $25 sweater and left the TAG on it!
I came back down and my MIL is DREWLING over the scarf she appreciated it, at least. Then I got to hear some whackjob story about how fFIL was bitten by bees when he was younger which stunted the growth of his hands via his Lymph nodes..??!??!?!?!? Wha? I must have tilted my head (as I have a tendency to do without realizing it) cause he says “Well, these are extra large gloves, or didn’t you notice” Are you kidding me? Unlike you, I DID notice. I mean this guy is HUGE tall. And the large were snug on Jim’s hands so we went with XL. Unlike him who apparently thinks I am a ‘large’ woman.
Bah humbug!
Then his little sister (which I will assume will figure it out later) opens her periwinkle purse and matching clutch in signature Dooney along with the compact gloss and eye shadow kit from Estee Lauder in matching leather and her reply? “Oh, yeah, thanks for the stuff” with a quizzical look on her face as to say “what the hell was that?”
That’s it. They’re all getting CARDS next year!
