The Blue Sleepers My husband had been married previously with children. In love and respect for my ready-made-family, I made a conscious effort to get along well with the ex-wife. When she and her new husband delivered another baby I ran right out to Zayres and bought two beautiful blue sleepers. I was so happy to hear how pleased she was to receive my gift. About a year later on the arrival of my child, my husband’s ex-wife presented us with a gift as well. As I opened the gift I silently reflected on how mature we had been about getting along so well. My thoughts were short lived after all the paper was removed, and I recognized the same blue sleepers I had bought her just a year prior. I removed the clear lid from the prepackaged box and sure enough—unbeknownst to either of us—was a Zayres tag attached to the sleeper from the inside. I knew then that she had recycled my gift because Zayres had closed its doors shortly after I made my purchase. I never confronted the ex on her tacky error, but I sure confronted my husband about it! Angie Womack | Sanford | Central EMC |
