Bizarro: The Gift


via BizarroBlog

“. . . Here’s a cartoon about that person (or people) in your family that give you gifts that they think are perfect for you but could not be further off base. I once mentioned to my Aunt Sharon that I liked ‘kitsch art’ and for my next birthday she sent me some ceramic tiles with food printed on them, the sort you're supposed to hang in your kitchen. True story. I wouldn’t tell this story if there was any chance of hurting Aunt Sharon's feelings, but she's in solitary confinement now with no access to the Internet, so it’s safe. Hope you're warm and well-gifted today.”

Read Dan Piraro’s entire post here. This cartoon, and the story behind it, rings so true with the relationship I have with my mother.
