Telling the truth about a unwanted gift
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The subject today is “gift-receiving-honesty.”
If you receive a gift and you absolutely, positively know you will never ever use it, can you, would you tell the person that gave it to you?
And if you did decide to be perfectly truthful to the gift-giver, how did you start the sentence? Did you say…um, listen, this is really hard to tell you, but… Or are you the blunt type that just comes right out with it?
I think it depends on who has given you the gift. For instance, I can always tell my husband, honestly, if I like it or not. I try very hard to make sure I’m as diplomatic as possible. In some 25 years, so far so good. Now, what about you?
