I work at a store selling fabrics and sewing equipment. Last week I was cutting some fabric for a woman who came in with her two young daughters, aged somewhere around 9 or 10 years old. One of the daughters brought over a roll of Dora the Explorer-fabric for me to cut.
Mom: what are you going to make with that?
Daughter: it's a secret!
Mom walks away while I'm cutting, and the daughter leans in and whispers to me:
Daughter: I'm making mom an iPad-sleeve!
Me: oh, how nice of you! I'm shure she'll love it!
Daughter looks really proud, and when Mom walks back over she can't contain her excitement any longer.
Daughter: I'm making you an iPad-sleeve with this!
Mom: look of disgust no you're not, I don't want that! Why would you think I'd want a Dora sleeve?
Daughter obviously looks disappointed and slinks away. Nice going lady, turning down a home made gift from your ten-year-old. You're a real class act.
I may not have any little ones, but as a guy; if i did have a daughter, you can bet i'd be proud to have that Ipad sleeve. I'd even take it to work. Trust me it'd be worth being the butt of everyone's joke at the mine. It's just what good parents do.
Sad part of this is, that little girl has gotten to see her mothers true colors and i can only imagine what it's like at home for her. Just hope her fathers not as ill tempered.
