BQOTD*

This BQOTD is written on behalf of a friend who needed to rant, hence the asterisk.

Without further ado, I present...

Chiffons Don't Keep You Warm by my friend
My friend's mom had to attend a wedding dinner tonight and neglected to bring her matching chiffon shawl. En route to the dinner, my friend's mom (let's call her... Auntie) discovered the omission and called my friend (let's call her B) to get B to deliver it. B suggested that Auntie drop by B's sister's place to borrow a shawl as it would be on the way, but Auntie refused, saying that whatever shawl she could borrow would not be as warm as her matching chiffon shawl.

So, poor B had to drive all the way down to town (and she lives way way out, far far away from civilisation) just to deliver the "matching-and-oh-so-warm" chiffon shawl to Auntie. And she had to grin and lie through her teeth too, when Auntie asked if it would be a problem. FYI, the "matching-and-oh-so-warm" chiffon shawl was not only made of chiffon, but also had some sequins and 9mm of velvet trimming, which must be why it's "oh-so-warm"...

Don't you just hate it when people put the guilt trip on you? Moms especially seem to be expert at it.
