We sadly never sent it to him because a) his gorgeous house outside of Chicago was on the market and we didn't think he would want more crap to pack but really because b) Son #2 took an immediately liking to this garish glass and didn't want to part with it.
He's very giving, I know.
The other night he told me he was going to keep it forever.
Son #2: Mom, you can borrow it in 50 years, if you want.
Son #1: No she can't! She'll be dead. Mom, you don't plan to live until you're 95, do you?
Son #2: Oh right. Yeah, and if you're not dead, we'll definitely have you in a nursing home by then.
Once again, feeling the love.

This is the first time I've heard anything about the beautiful gift that I'll never receive. Can I borrow it some time if I promise not to lose it, break it, or even use it?
just one of many compelling reasons for you to come visit.
maybe we'll even fill it with a beer, who knows? such incentives!
