Yesterday, Christmas day, my grandson opened a present from me and Mr D and his mother, our DIL, said 'Oh he's already got one exactly the same as this he might as well leave it here' ie our house.
Firstly I was taken aback as I was always taught to say thank you enthusiastically/politely even I already had the same gift or indeed didn't like it - ie good manners.
And secondly I have been asking since September, with nothing forthcoming, for present ideas as kiddies already have so much these days and I didn't want this exact scenario to happen!
I didn't know how to respond to her without sounding rude.
What would you have said in the same situation?
Can I use my bus pass on London buses?
The majority of Israeli Jews do not want to occupy Gaza.
What were the first ever records that you bought and when?
