He tried to be nice, wrapped some bills (worth like R$ 500,00!), put them in a box and gave money to me as a gift. I got really mad! I told him that I didn´t want money, but the consideration of someone choosing something special to me, even if it was just a card. Well, poor husband! I was really tough on him and could be more considerate. However, I must say that he gets better and better in trying to find me the perfect gift. I know that he sweats a bit trying to decide what to buy, but now he understands it´s not about money or price, but showing that you care...I don´t know, maybe I souldn´t be so demanding, but I can´t help it! <br /><br />Rick, congrats! You´ve gotten the blogging spirit. What a nice post.

What is my surprise to find out it was the latest "Rio Negro & Solimões" CD. At the time I didn't know if that was music or a geography class CD-ROM. When I listened to the CD I had my answer: SERTANEJO!!! Anyway, I didn't throw the CD away. I regifted it to my maid and she loved it. Clever, huh?Luiz Claudio Monteiro da Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376220465179350547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111501022262370381.post-39970995542956542452009-09-16T11:36:16.740-03:002009-09-16T11:36:16.740-03:00I have definitely been there!

I liked it, she didn´t. Eventually, she gave it away, naturally. I don´t blame her. Come on, who gives people presents that reflect the giver´s preference and not the receiver´s?

I liked the witty, funny (I'm still chuckling) story of the pricey shirt that your dad gave you very much—not only because it was a "good read," but also because it made me think of similar experiences that <i><b>I've</b></i> had.<br /><br />One experience involves a gift that I liked a lot at first, but didn't like at all later.<br /><br />When I was a kid in elementary school, I delivered newspapers in my small home town, and at Christmastime one year, one of my customers gave me a small box of chocolate-covered cherries. I liked them, but so did my sister and brother, and I was able to enjoy only one or two of those yummy candies.<br /><br />I was the first grandchild of my maternal grandmother, and when Mammaw Cook heard about what happened, she decided to do something about it: she bought a <i>gargantuan</i> box of the same candy, hid it at her house, snd only removed it from its secret location when I went (alone) to see her. When I got there, she immediately got the box of candy (which seemed to get bigger each time she presented it), handed it to me with a smile and a wink, and made sure that I had as many chocolate-covered cherries as I wanted (and always encouraged me, when I'd had my fill, to "have just one more"). Being a dutiful, approval-seeking kid, I of course did as she asked.<br /><br />That gift from my granny was a very special treat . . . the first time she brought out the giant box and said, "Dig in!" During every subsequent visit for what seemed a long, long time, however, I considered moving to Lithuania or changing my identity because I came to <b>despise</b> those gooey, over-sweet confections. I never did tell my granny how I felt, though, because her clandestine, just-between-the-two-of-us gift was expensive and I didn't want to seem unappreciative or to hurt her feelings. <br /><br />I <i>did</i> finish off the box (finally), but would you believe that I've never cared for chocolate-covered cherries since then? To this day, I get a stomache ache just thinking about that particularly memorable Christmas gift!<br /><br />Dennis in PhoenixDennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406878238507555896noreply@blogger.com
