The holidays have come and gone... but I'm left pondering my life with the Oppression Party. Prior to the holidays I was wandering the stores looking for gifts for my child, trying to stay in the holiday cheer. I decided to get the OP kitchen utensils for the holidays. Now I know what you're thinking. But I wasn't going to get anything. I've gotten jewelry, expensive electronics, lots of gifts with thought in the past and here I am, calling them the Oppression Party. So now they get utensils.
Don't you have utensils you ask? Well we did. For some reason ours disappeared, they were probably to happy like the pet, and I used them, so that must be the reason they were destroyed.
Anyways, I heard the OP talking, and saying what type they would really like. So I made an effort. And believe me I had to go to every kitchen store I knew to find this type, Williams Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, Linens & Crap; none of them had it. So I found it at a random kitchen store.
Now of course, I was going wrap them, but then I remembered some time ago getting a similar gift, and getting berated for gift. So I panicked, decided just to put them out for use, not as a gift and leave it at no gift. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. And I was damned. Cursed. Not verbally cursed, just tortured while I had my holiday time off.
These kitchen utensils met their fate as well. Goodbye utensils, I hardly knew you. Who knows what item in the house will be next to go.
