[quote] Jo Jr., however, decided to send me a gift card to my |
|
favorite local restaurant. This is both charming and appalling: |
|
it's HIS birthday, he shouldn't be buying gifts. [/quote] |
|
I think Jo Jr. is trying to hint that he doesn't want you to |
|
give him gifts on his birthday. |
|
He has also probably had his mother directly ask him if he got a |
|
card from you, and he probably has heard her complain that you |
|
didn't send on, and he thinks that gift card is a guilt present, |
|
and he doesn't want those. |
|
Since you and Jo Jr. are friends, I suggest you ask him how HE |
|
would like you to mark his birthday, and see if he'll go with |
|
something that's easy maintenance for you. (Does he send you a |
|
birthday card, and a present? If he doesn't, you shouldn't |
|
either.) |
