The Lane Bryant card came in handy, at least, so, there's that....

OMG! That's horrible!! I would have died of embarrassment; it sounds like you have enough of a sense of humor that you handled it better.

Wow.

See, in this instance I'd be a bitch and give back a cake of soap . . .

Through middle school and high school I grew out my hair, and the year I was a junior my hair went below my shoulder blades. That year for Christmas my grandmother got me a hair braiding and beading kit, in a bright pink box with two young girls on the front. Ages 8-11. I wish I could say she did it as a joke, but she was completely sincere about it.

DISAGREE!!

As a kid, my uncle once bought me a five-gallon tub of cookies and creme ice cream. It was the best birthday present I ever got as a kid!! Big Grin

RE: Most Awkward Presents
I do actually have a memory of an awkward present. Though, to be honest I think it was more of an embarrassing present, and I think I was the only one who understood it at the time.

It was at a time, in my early teens, when I began reading actual novels instead of the children's books the school library contained. My family was aware that I was becoming quite the avid reader, and one Christmas I suppose they decided to get me books as presents. I am uncertain if the presents were a joke, but I believe to this day that they were not. In my father's rather ignorant way, he gave me children's books for Christmas. I remember one of them was a silly few page length Goofy book on exercise.

I think I hid my embarrassment and my disappointment, and I never stated anything aloud. In time, the books did become better once my family actually took a more invested look into what it was I preferred to read. At the time, it was mostly Dean Koontz and Anne Rice, two of my all-time favorite authors even to this day.

Wow! that part about the katana got me excited. I can't comment on this thread because people don't give me movies like that.

My mom once got me what she thought was an interactive horror B-movie. It was actually interactive horror porn. Then, we watched it together. I will never get those images out of my head. One of the last scenes shows a chick fucking another chick to death with a katana. Confused Fall
