A Christmas Story: Ugly Purple Dress
I bought my wife a purple dress. It had shoulder pads and small flower designs on the shoulders. It came from Macy’s, and I knew she would like it.
She didn’t.
She was only my girlfriend at the time. And I wanted to buy her something special for Christmas. She opened the gift in front of my parents and had to pretend to like it.
A long time went by, and I finally asked her why she never wore the purple dress with shoulder pads and small flower designs that I had bought her.
She confessed that it was the ugliest dress she had ever seen.
We still got married a few years later.
