Absolutely. My dad once bought 4 pairs of the same glasses because he didn't want to have to find ones he liked again.
I'm getting into this habit as I'm getting older. I dont want that much and I rarely find stuff I really like, so when I do I just get multiple and I feel lucky I don't have to go shopping for that item for years.
Yeah.
He did.
Once. And that's the point.
My 10 year old daughter gave me a keychain she made herself and a rendition of Star Wars main theme she learned with her cello teacher. Best…gift….ever!
I don't have kids. I have a niece who's 14 now.
When she was 3, she asked if I wanted a bracelet. I eould have been 30 at the time, and I'm a guy. But my niece was asking me if I wanted a bracelet, so I said yes.
She pulls out these pink pipe cleaner twisty ties for arts and crafts. Then she put some beads on it.
She had a method. I have no idea what the method was, but she was like "first this one, and then this one".
She was describing what each bead meant, and why they were in that exact order. I wore the bracelet all day. And when I got home, I put it on my doorknob. I've moved since then, so it's a different doorknob, but it's still on my doorknob to this day.
No!
