My husband and I bought our granddaughter Eloise a wedding gift from her registry, but she accused us of being cheap. She expected the $40,000 cash gift we give our grandkids before their weddings. Upset, she threatened to cut us off.
“We buy a small gift from the registry and give a check for $40,000 the day before the wedding,” I explained. This time, we sent an air fryer, the cheapest item on her list. Eloise called, livid: “An air fryer? That’s the cheapest thing you could find?”
I told her, “Yes, we’re cheap, old, and useless. The only thing you didn’t know is that the day before the wedding, we were going to gift you a check for $40,000.”
Eloise’s reaction made us reconsider giving the cash. Later, she found out about our tradition and accused us of discrimination. “Why didn’t I get anything?”
“We felt after your reaction, it wasn’t right to go ahead with the gift,” I said. Eloise, now boycotting Christmas, refuses to understand our perspective. Despite this, our door and hearts remain open to her.
Firefighters rescued 8 puppies from the sewer, but it turned out that they were not puppies at all
When firefighter Brian Vaughan and his crew were notified of the accident, they immediately went to work.
As they informed firefighters, it was about eight small dogs that got stuck in the sewer.
Of course the firefighters did their job well.
They saved eight little puppies, or so they thought.
When the vet examined these unfortunate cubs, they realized they weren’t dogs.
They were fox cubs.
