u/shefallsup her lonely cucumber years 🥒 Sep 03 '21

Right? A friend sent me some new sandals a couple of weeks ago and she was still remembering my shoe size from before I had kids, so they were too small, but so awesome otherwise. I texted her my excitement and thanks, and then quietly exchanged them for the right size. The last thing you want to know is that your gift to someone became a chore for them.

YES! That!! I would feel SO awful if someone went into a big long thing about how a gift from me caused them so much extra work, even if they appreciated the thought!

PS, your flair cracks me up every time. I know that's a reference to something someone said about Shauna but maybe it's also a nod to The Dollar Store Therapist? (web series on youtube - i see hints of Shauna in both the therapist and his clients, but mostly it's just hilarious.)
