Yesterday, I hesitantly accompanied cousin Lissie to shop for a perfect debut  gift.   Although, I believe it is a girl thing but my aunt Cherry asked me to keep watch of her daughter so I obliged to go.   Knowing this cousin of mine who loves to hop from one store to the other and would shop aimlessly, the thought almost made me changed my mind.

However, I’ve learned that Aunt Cherry already instructed her to just go to her favorite jeweller and look for a nice bracelet or necklace befitting a debutante.   For hours, she seemingly cant make up her mind which to choose and out of my impatience, I told her that I will check on some gadgets on a nearby electronics shop and that she takes her time.   I allowed her to choose and choose and choose….

Not long after I was gone, I saw her coming towards me and was beckoning me to see what she purchased.   My jaw almost dropped out of surprise… as I fumbled to check what’s inside, I saw only a  empty black  necklace display and I got worried that necklace must has been lost.

Cousin almost send me to my wits’ end for it took her several hours looking for a gift and that was the only thing she bought?Goodness!  Well, she told me, because she was having a hard time choosing which to buy, she decided then to have her mom do the shopping for the necklace and that she was fascinated with the velvet jewelry display stand she just bought.

What???? Never again…
