She couldn't have known that he was mauled by a bear. However, she COULD have known that getting a build-a-bear for someone when you're specifically told NOT to, us in fact a bad idea. Also, I'd also like to know who "she" is.

True, however, her daughter told her not to do it.

It seems you and OP have something in common, #1. Neither one of you paid any attention to what her daughter said.

100, if someone doesn't want something why would you spend money on them? You may as well flush a wad of cash down the toilet. When it comes to gifts the receiver always has a say no matter their relationship to the giver. OP's daughter said no. That should have been enough for OP.

Wtf

OP YDI for being stubborn

I was wondering that as well! Hopefully the mods fix it soon. Sirin, where art thou?!

probably referring to OP's best friend or enemy, because OP knew about thing wit her enemy's boyfriend! but 'her' is probably a close friend.

This guy would be terrified of Ted.

That still seems like a really bizarre gift to give her "new" bf. ydi

Same here. Don't know how it got past the moderators.

Sorry but I couldn't help but notice Dudley as your profile pic. He was always my favorite character from SF 3rd Strike :3
