This reminds me of an incident when I was a teen. You know...that period of life when it's CRUCIAL to fit in? Well, my step dad had found this wooden box purse, and presented it to me as a gift. He was so sure I'd be pleased. I, however, was mortified at the thought of actually carrying the thing! Granted, it was painted nicely; but - nobody, but NOBODY else had one! Not only would I not be 'in' - I'd be minus 'out'! LOL Well, my mamma raised me right, and fortunately my raisin' won out - I couldn't bear to hurt my step dad's feelings over a purse, so I set my jaw and carried it to school.
Maybe nobody would notice for just a few days. Well, not only did they notice; but the girls LOVED it! I started a trend,
and learned an important life lesson. I was so happy to tell my 'dad' his gift was a hit!
