"I love this quilt," Alyssa said as she got ready to move out of my house, fondling the hand tie-dyed sampler I made. "I would take it if you let me. And Hickory, she's the best cat. I know she loves me. If you don't mind."
I did mind.
Now my 13 year old loves that quilt up as she should.
I am stunned at the thought of asking to take someone's hand tie-dyed quilt. And equally stunned at the thought of asking for cat. Some things must be offered.
ReplyDelete"Was she joking?" I say hopefully.
ReplyDeleteshe was not joking. She seriously did not understand how people worked.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both Maureen and Linda. I've run into people who ask for things like that and wonder how they learned to be that way.
