    My ex-husband bought me a car. Awesome right? It turns out, it was stolen....not by him though, by the guy who "sold" it to him. :huh:

    When I was like 9, there was a Cuban kid that lived next door who gave me frilly underwear for Christmas and insisted it was a tradition in Cuba. I don't know if it is or not, but it was kind of creepy.

    I'm Cuban. It's not.


    But by jove I will make it a tradition now!

    I was happier pretending it was! :laugh:

    wow, these are great!!
    My grandmother is fantastic about buying useless gifts. Usually its just the horrendously ugly sweater or something. My husband is 6'4" and about a 170lbs. (yeah, i know!) Anyhow, his nana is Japanese and is less than 4'6", so to her, he is a giant. Every year she gets him a shirt. A really, really, really big shirt! I usually wear them to bed :)

    My mother gave me a leopard print thong in my stocking when I was about 15... I was mortified. My family is very conservative so this was very odd.:embarassed:

    Also, my grandma always give me the creepiest cherub christmas ornaments...they always look a bit sinister. But I love my grandma so I put them on my tree and say thanks :smile:

    When I was 10, I got a Barbie doll.

    When I was 10, I was a tomboy who played in the mud, made little forts out of sod and concrete blocks, started campfires in said forts, threw rocks, played "army" outside all day, never wore "sissy" skirts or dresses, and swore like a sailor. YES, I'D LIKE A BARBIE DOLL PLEASE.

    I wear dresses nowadays, and don't throw rocks, build forts, or play in the mud anymore.

    But I still swear like a sailor ;)

    When my brother and his ex were still married she gave me an 'Orgasm Donor' t-shirt. In front of the whole family.
    She was from crazytown so it was to be expected.

    I am laughing so hard I'm CRYING!

    A pair of pliers that fold up and fit in my pocket. :indifferent:
    I was given something similar. Extremely useful gift, which I carry in my car, and which as proved itself invaluable many times. Perhaps tools are best given to those who are smart enough to use them.
    when I was 15 or 16 my Grandma gave me a basket with pads, tampons and underwear. :noway:
    Puberty is coming earlier with every generation. She probably thought she was "preparing" you for the time your period started.
    My grandma gave me a tool for the car so you can cut the seatbelt or break the window if needed. Thanks for the doomsday thoughts.
    Or maybe she thought it would save your life...

    Shocking to realise what a truly ungrateful bunch of members we have on this site....

    Ok seriously I was 13, 3 years away from even needing it. So maybe grandma did wanna save my life but at 13 it was odd.
