What is the best present you have ever given?
Submitted by quornflour.
Dear old Tante's hand-knitted sweater, of course! You can't see here,
but it's a lovely bright purple. The folks I kept trying to give it to
never seemed very excited about it. Usually after the first five
minutes of trying to get it on, they remembered something they needed
to do, and ran off. What is it what kids these days? Rush, rush, rush.
Stop and enjoy life, I always say! Then I'd have to find someone else
to wear it, and somehow, it just never happened.
Say...you're
about the right size...here, hold still and I'll pull it on over your
head. Hey, hold still! You'll strangle yourself on the fourth sleeve if
you don't stop wiggling!
*sighs, shaking head, watching the heels in the distance, sweater dangling from gnarled hands*
