I hate surprises

[LeftyMom]

My little sister had to call me last night to tell me that she picked out the perfect present from Dad and I'm going to love it and no she won't give me a hint.

Then my Mom calls to tell me that she didn't spend much but she thinks I'll like what I got.

Why must people wind me up like this? I hate suspense!

:cry: <---- LM's holiday induced nervous breakdown.

1. Are your mom and sister with the CIA?

Sounds like you've been "rendered."

3. When I hear that crap, I instantly think

"how much more loudly, more obnoxiously, could you POSSIBLY beg for a very expensive gift?"

Good luck, LM. :hug:

6. I hope that's not what my sister was after

She'd be barking up the wrong tree for sure. I'm soooooooooooooooo broke it long ago ceased to be funny.

Thanks for the hug. I've had a really bad day, it's cold and miserable and rainy and LeftyKid is tearing the house apart so it means a lot to me right now. :hug:

8. LM, I should've added a disclaimer--

I didn't intend to imply that's what your sister might be after. If she's anything like my sisters, it's the last thing on her mind (what she might get from you). And if she knows you're so broke, maybe it's something you need desperately but can't afford. :shrug:

:hug: hope today is better.
