The Cookbook Not long after we moved into our home, family and friends gave us a housewarming. I received a lovely cookbook as a gift. I did not do much cooking back then, and I decided this would be perfect for re-gifting. Sure enough, a couple of months later I was invited to a bridal shower. As the bride-to-be began to unwrap her gifts, she came to mine. Oh, she was so excited about her wonderful cookbook. She began to thumb through it and, lo and behold, unbeknownst to me, the person who had given it to me had written me a personal note on the inside cover. She began to read it aloud and soon realized the note had been meant for me! I began to pray for the floor to open up and for me to fall in and disappear forever. She came to me after the party and gave the cookbook back, and we both got a good laugh. She said she had done the same thing but was fortunate enough not to get caught. I have not re-gifted since.
