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!
What that saying about karma!! I guess you showed her, Violets mommy doesn’t take bad gifts lying down! I literally am laughing out loud and on the verge of tears!!!!
Ditto…Chad & I are laughing so hard our bellies are hurting! So, do you say something? or just let it lie? Hope you enjoyed those delicious treats :0)
Of course that would happen; you were trying to do something nice. It is funny though.
Yes, well, for some reason that mostly gone box of cookies seems to sum up 2007. May the past year rest in peace for both of us.
