When you turned 5 years old, your Auntie Lisa remembered you loved princesses and dress-up. I was very proud of myself- I shopped online and found you what I thought would be a fun, dress-up kit that had nail polish and lip gloss, perfume, even a crown and mirror. Your parents decided not to give you my gift. Instead they purchased a trivia game and said it was from me. Your parents thought I sent you lipstick, blush and make-up. My feelings were hurt that your parents didn't call me or text me to say the present was not to their taste. I love you little Leigh and I love my own little girl who loved lip gloss and nail polish and princesses too. I wish your parents had given the gift away and never said anything to me. By telling me they disapprove of my gift they really hurt my feelings! I will never send you another gift that takes time to choose and is thoughtful. I will send impersonal checks made out to your dad so he can pick out gifts like trivia for you.
With all my love and sadness,
Auntie Lisa
