What bastardry! Good story!
My thoughts exactly!
Excellent! How often do we really say what we mean? I’m enjoying your writing immensely – hope you can achieve your goal!
I really like that – so honed down but says such a lot. Nice one.
Hmmm….a new idea for my wife’s birthday!

brilliant 🙂
A one way trip to GETTHEHELLOUTTAMYLIFE’sville LOL 😀
I can’t believe it when you believed the person meant it when she said she didn’t want anything. I never believed it when people said that to me.
This reminds me of a friend from long ago who told every one at his job not to throw the usual lunch time bash with champagne for his upcoming birthday. When they didn’t he complained bitterly for weeks.
Hell yes! I cannot stand obligatory gifting!
My mom always says she doesn’t want anything and still I have never thought of this 😉
LOL that’s mean….but hopefully someone got cake
This is why I always ask for something 🙂
OMG I’ve done that before to my mom. She said she didn’t want anything so I gave her an empty box. Great job for making me relive that dude :]
