Once again, we made Bob's annual holiday shopping pilgrimage to The 99 Cent Store. Following is a list of the presents that were purchased along with their lucky recipients.
Mee Mee (My Mom) - Polka-dot Polo brand men's dress socks. "Because socks are nice."
Bajan (Jeff's Mom) - Small planter in the shape of a somewhat melancholy frog. "Because frogs are good."
Aunt Jen - Bright green dragonfly ornaments. "Because Aunt Jen likes dragonflies like her ankle tattoo and she really likes green."
Aunt Jill - Pink and purple mechanical pencils. "Because she probably writes things down at her job."
Me - Large, green sparkly Christmas ornament. This was to be a surprise but then I was asked to help wrap it. I will be surprised... enough.
Pops - Blue striped beanie hat. "Because it probably gets cold up there where there's no hair anymore."
Aunt Dawn - Christmas mug. "Because I'm pretty sure she's Christian, not Jewish, and she probably drinks things."
And to all a good night.
Ah, I remember trips to Grand Central -- taken with my friend's family, so I could really keep stuff a SECRET -- when I was 7 or 8. Big time stuff.
ReplyDeleteGlad Bob enjoyed making all his choices. :)
Secrecy is key! xoxo
