A Little Background Info:
1. I love Peppermint Joe Joe’s from Trader Joe’s. They are only available during the Christmas season and they usually sell out before I’ve had my fill.
2. My best friend is a teacher and will not allow me to buy ANY teacher another mug.
3. I gave Violet’s teacher a gift basket for Christmas. It was filled with (what I thought were) amazing treats – including the Joe Joe’s.
4. Violet’s Teacher thoughtfully gave me a “volunteer gift” that was not my style.
The Story:
Today I took the Christmas tree down, packed away all of the ornaments, and vacuumed up a lot of needles. I started thinking about next year and all that we would do as a family. I was almost wishing that Christmas was just around the corner again when I remembered that I had a few of the Peppermint Joe Joe’s left. I made dinner and got the kids to bed. I poured myself a glass of cold milk and got out The Box. It felt rather heavy. I thought I had 2 or 3 cookies left, but upon closer inspection I had a FULLY, UNOPENED box. Yeah for me. My mind was reeling. How can this be? Yeah for me. Then it hit me like a ton of peppermint filling. I gave Violet’s teacher the half eaten box of cookies. Not so yeah for me…or her!
