Giving back a gift, how should you feel? How should you feel if someone asks for a gift they gave you, back?
My aunt (moms oldest sis by 12 yrs. I think she's around 65 yrs old) has been here on a visit for the last three weeks. We rarely see her because she lives in another country. Anyways, the night she came she gave my mom a crystal bracelet, worth a few hundred i bet. they realized it was too small for my mom so my aunt gave it to me.
anyways, just a few hours ago my mom pulled me aside and told me not to feel bad but my aunt asked for the bracelet back. immediately i was like, ok sure thats no problem! i mean, honestly, i put the bracelet away and havent even looked at it since! my mom was the one that felt bad and felt horrible for telling me. she even told me at the end of the convo that she didnt even know how to ask me cuz she was worried shed hurt my feelings! (hehe i have a great mom).
so yea, i told my mom to give it to my aunt. i didnt want to do it. haha, i think it'd be awkward! now im a little worried about facing my aunt tomorrow morning?? she leaves on sunday, i cant avoid her these next few days! i mean, i didnt care for the bracelet, yet i feel sorta weird that i was put into this situation...yet im also worried about what to say if my aunt talks to me about why she wanted it back! im not sure how to explain it. hopefully its just an unspoken thing for the next few days!
