Question 35
Personal History Question 35 is, “What is your favorite family story?”
I have many. But this one always makes me smile. One year, while my mom worked at a florist shop, they were doing inventory. Bosslady came out with this old, forgotten, baby blue vase with a single, dusty, yellowed, fake Calla Lily in it. My mom brought it home. She planned to give it to my Aunty Nancy as a “Christmas gift” …. And oh my gosh. She wrapped it all nice. When my aunt unwrapped it, the look on her face was absolutely priceless. She had no words. I can still hear her in my head… “Ooohhh. That’s ….. niiiice…” My mom let her sweat for a few moments before cracking up and telling my aunt it was just a joke.. Each year after that, it was regifted to someone else in the family. I am not sure who the final person was that it went to, but I am confident enough to know that it most likely ended up in the trash! ;D
