[QUOTE="Shari, post: 492627, member: 1848"] Ok, this isn't MY gift, but I was kinda a part of it, and its hysterical, soo... Last year, husband's nephew got married. A few weeks before, I was in town, and Two Brooms called me and asked if we had the silverware she gave husband years ago. I said yeah, somewhere. Then she asked me if I knew where it was. Yeah, I could get to it if I had to. Then she told me to go get it. I told her I wasn't home. She said to call me when I got home. (She then called me several times before I got home). When I got home, I called her. She told me to count the forks. So I did. I told her how many. Then count the spoons. I did, gave her the result. Then count the knives. I see where this is going, so I tell her I will count it all and call her back. So I do. I call her back and tell her how much of each piece is in the set. She replies "good, I need 2 forks, a serving spoon, and ..." I can't remember what all. I said "that's fine, come get it and take what you need" to which she replied that I was awful for saying that, she gave that silverware to husband and he should appreciate it. uh....ok. By this time, it was 11:30 pm and she wanted to come get it right then. I said I was headed to bed, but she was insistent (and already half-way to my house - a shock since we though she was at the lake). She told me to wash it. So I did, and met her in the driveway with the silverware. Turns out, there was a shower for the bride the next day. She had purchased the same set of silverware for nephew when he was about 3 and had stuck it away (she does this) for his wedding gift, and had lost some pieces. She was replacing the missing pieces so she could give nephew's bride the silverware as a wedding gift! And taking the missing pieces from husband's set! (and lemme tell ya, its hideous silverware - GAUDY). We have laughed hysterically about this. And for Thanksgiving this year, I dug out that silverware just for nephew's wife's benefit... (and yes, she knows..when she told me about the awful silverware she got, I couldn't resist telling her where a good chunk of it came from!) [/QUOTE]
