Queen Mum’s When I saw the theme “The Ugliest Lamp I Ever Saw,” I said to myself, “Hands down, I own it!”. At a recent Red Hatters gathering, we had a “white elephant” gift swap. Everyone was to bring a wrapped gift, preferably a funny one, something you received as a gift and just wished you could give away to someone else. When it was my turn to pick a gift, I chose the biggest one I could find. It was wrapped like a mushroom, and I thought this could be the birdbath that I’ve been looking for. As I unwrapped it, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Everyone roared with laughter. I got the prize of the evening—no one could top it. Is that any way to treat a queen?
