Lovely Holiday Gifts for All the Girls!

True story- One Christmas my mum purchased matching sweaters for me and my dad, she made us open them together.


I was twelve and well, this wasn't a very welcome concept.


My father thanked my mother and nodded at me, sending an incredible nonverbal message of "bury this in your drawer, never wear it, never speak of it" and that's what we did...

It was the best thing he ever got me.

The mother and daughter captured those exact same thoughts in this ad!

That was a great job of your dad there! The question is, did your mom ever ask why you guys never wore those sweaters or if not was it because: a) she never even noticed (even she didn't like them!), b) your mom and dad had a big argument about it and dad won, or c) your dad gently explained the situation to your mom in private (don't want to do that in front of the boy!) and she got where he was coming from.
