Just Oblivious
One year my parents decided to clean out their pantry. Instead of throwing things out, I got cookbooks from the 70’s and a bunch of different, half-used spices that had expired years ago. I warned my girlfriend ahead of time that my parents were not the best at choosing gifts.
She still had a hard time believing that was my “big” gift. My parents are not poor, just oblivious. Story credit: Reddit
