In my extensive package of material I received from the hospital about a laproscopic cholecystectomy, they included a caution about not signing any important papers, making any major decisions or purchases shortly after having a general anaesthetic.
After I got home, I wondered how long that advice was meant to last after I went out and very unexpectedly bought a flat-screen TV yesterday morning.
I decided to accompany my parents to Home Depot to get my mother a Mother's Day gift from my father. My mother and I were thinking along the lines of a garden ornament, perhaps a gnome. Somehow the conversation turned to the Best Buy next door and before we knew it, we had bypassed Home Depot completely and were buying two flat-screen TVs -- one for them and I was buying one for me too.
I have taken to calling my parents' new TV "the garden gnome".
"I really like your garden gnome," I say to my mom.
"So do I," says my mom.
