Giving Back

LOOK AT ME!  I’M GIVING BACK!

When I was nine years old I gave my sister a hockey stick for Christmas. This meaningful gesture was un-notable, with the exception that my sister didn’t actually play hockey. No sooner did she open her gift than I immediately asked if I could borrow it.  She burst out in tears and my loving parents promptly pointed out that I was self absorbed, narcissistic, and grounded for two weeks. I learned a valuable lesson that day and for the fourty four years I’ve never given my sister a single gift (not even a birthday card).
