Dear mouse,
My male friend was complaining. He called me while he was in a store looking at the different brands of tv stands.
His gift from his daughter was a 60-inch HD TV. Puzzled, I asked him why he’s complaining. Isn’t it, he should be happy? His daughter did not only remember him on Christmas but gave him a very expensive gift. Or was it his way to tell me about his daughter’s thoughtfulness without having to impress that he’s bragging?
He chuckled when I reprimanded him to be appreciative of having a thoughtful daughter. Shame on him! I made him known that my eyes were rolling as we talked. He said that because of the gift, he has to spend more than a thousand to buy a new TV stand and to pay a hired hand to have his 52-inch HD TV moved from the living room to their master’s bedroom.
He said she could have just given him the cash. Was he sure it was purchased in cash?
Years ago, a former roommate of mine received a 32-inch TV as Christmas gift from her boyfriend. It replaced our 20-inch TV in the living room. She had also to replace the old rickety TV stand with a huge one which was called an “entertainment center” since it also housed the VCR-DVD and stereo/cd player . It occupied a big space in our small living room.
I had my own TV in my bedroom.
After a few weeks, I noticed that the boyfriend was hanging out more often in our place especially during football and basketball seasons.
He even brought some friends with him; did some drinking and created a lot of noise.
If I were muscled enough, I could have thrown that TV set outside. The noise was depriving me of my sleep. I had to legislate a law about house guests.
I thought that he would get back the TV and bring it to his own apartment. It didn’t happen.
After they broke up, I learned that the boyfriend merely paid the down payment and the rest was charged to my friend’s credit card.
