When she opens the gift, she’ll smile and say , “Oh Thank you sweet heart this is just what I wanted.” And she’ll put it in her pocket for safekeeping.
Chances are she wants to keep her house clean, so she’ll immediately clean up all the torn pieces and go to put them in the trashcan on the back porch.
Once she reaches the back porch, she’ll see her son’s dirty basketball uniform laying on the floor and remember that he needs it for a game this evening.
Then she’ll immediately realize that there is no detergent in the house.
Sooooo...she’ll hop in the car to go get more detergent. And of course, when she gets in, she will see that dad has used up all of the gas in the tank (again) and didn’t refill.
She’ll try to make it to the nearest gas station with her fingers crossed the whole time-hoping that she doesn’t run out of gas before she gets there.
Once she gets there, she’ll be so grateful-that is until she realizes that she left her purse at home. And chances are if she left her purse at home, all of her cash and debit cards are also at home.
She’ll pray a little then take off for her bank, and chances are she’s a member of that odd bank that only has one branch in the entire city, and it just happens to be on the OTHER side of town.
By miracle, she will make it there, but when she gets there, she’ll remember that her ID is in her wallet, and chances are that there is a new teller at the window who doesn’t know her from Adam or Eve.
So she’ll have to wait until new teller goes to get the manager, who knows and recognizes her.
Once she gets the money she’ll pray her way back to the gas station, where chances are she’ll be so frustrated that she’ll spill it all over herself.
She’ll buy the $23 dollar bottle of detergent at the gas station because she’s now very, very, mad and frustrated, and reeked of oil, and she’ll head home.
When she gets home she’ll put her gas covered clothing along with her son’s basketball clothes in the washing machine.
And chances are it won’t be ‘til the clothes are on the final rinse cycle that she’ll realize that the new heart pendant that you just gave her is still in the pocket……
So if you buy your mom a gift, chances are...
