Q: Write a pretend thank you note for the worst present you've ever been given.
PREFACE: This present was given to me by my first boyfriend before he was even my boyfriend, and let it be known that he was very very sweet, and this was a thoughtful gift and I thought his present was adorable. That being said, it was still extremely ugly, and did resist laughing when I opened the present. I have been fortunate to receive very good gifts in my life, so it doesn't say a lot that this just happened to be what made the list. But it did make the list. So here it goes:
Dear friend,
Thank you for the hand knitted hat! I know the large time commitment that home made gifts can take and it means a lot that you would spend time making this hat for me. I know it must have been especially time consuming because not only did you have to knit the hat, but then you had to go back through and sew the random holes shut with floss. I also know that puce orange, mustard yellow, blue and army green are some of your favorite colors and you wanted to make me a hat with all of them mixed into one blend. Thank you also for making it out of a very pokey yarn so that I wouldn't get carried away and wear it all the time, which would make my hair greasy and cause the school to think I'd gone skater.You are so considerate! I hope your Christmas was great, and you continue to make knitted hats out of multiple colors.
love,
Me
