Gee Thanks - Gee Thanks – Sponsored by American Express® Gift Cards

After I graduated from College my father announced that he was planning a Graduation party for me. I was excited and appreciative until it became clear that this was really an excuse for him to show me off to his friends rather than a party for me and my buddies from high school. I wanted to invite more of my friends. He said there would be too many people. After some heated discussions we compromised and I got to invite some of my friends but nowhere near the number I would have liked.

Cut to the night of the party and a friend of my father’s, who I had never met before, shows up with a gift for me. I see this look of horror on her face as she’s introduced to me. We talk briefly but she seemed more uncomfortable as the conversation wore on, so I quickly ended the interaction and left.

Later, when I unwrap presents I discover that this friend, whom I had never met, thought I was a daughter and not a son graduating from College (the name Sacha doesn’t help) and her present was a gift of MAKEUP.

My father was mortified (as I’m sure she was) and was apologetic for days.

When in doubt, get a gift card!!!!
