Gifts Dismissed ..

Today's Evocativeness

“ I'll bet many of you have in the past also been hurt by a careless dismissal of something you gave to a friend or loved one, just as Jimmy Olsen was here. Mine happened when I gave my dad a briefcase for Father's Day, and he made me take it back because it cost too much money.  In retrospect, since I was only around 11 years-old, I can't imagine that any attaché' case I could, even extravagantly,  afford would have been something a professional would be seen dead with.  Still ... I remember it. don't I?  BTW, this is the only instance in my entire life that my dad disappointed me wantonly.  Oh yeah, there were several instances where I tried to give girlfriends something very precious to me, and was refused, but I don't remember their names, so who cares?  I call them Losers! ”
