Purse Lamps

Mother came home from work with the ugliest present from her slimy boss today. They were having a Christmas party at work and the boss gave everyone presents. When mother brought the present home we both looked at it and said, "What is it?" It turns out it was a purse....with a cord coming out of it. We looked at each other and were like WTF? The thing was a lamp; an ugly purple lamp shaped like a purse. It was something that you would see in a 5 year olds bedroom, not a grown woman's. It was the funniest thing. Mother said "Well, what do I do with it?" I suggested give it away to someone. The thing is mother can't think of anyone she hates enough to give it to! So then we were like well let's just turn it on and see how ugly it really is. We plug it in and turned off the overhead light and flipped the switch on the lamp cord. It took 0.345 seconds for the bulb to decide that suicide was better than providing light for the tacky lamp! We all got a good laugh, and ending mother's crap-tacular day on a lighter note. It's sad to know that some people give gifts that they think are really cool, when in reality the gifts are the tackiest things in the world. And knowing mother's boss, she probably thought the monstrocity was the "cat's meow!"
