Subject: RE: Worst Christmas PresentsOne of my best friends got a bag of trail mix from her father. She was underwhelmed . And they have a good relationship too, he's just a horrible gift giver.
She told me that story after I told her my dad had gotten me a bath towel for Christmas. The thing was he was so cute about it. He never knows what to get anyone, he's one of those poor men who wander around the mall on Christmas Eve and who the hell knows what he's going to come home with. I remember opening it, looking at him in surprise, and he said hopefully, "It's a towel! The best one at Macy's! Even more expensive than Ralph Lauren!" Of course, I told him it was wonderful.
I love my dad. It really is a soft and nice towel though. I guess even though it's nothing I would ever ask for, when I use it I think of my silly adorable, dear old dad. |
