I once asked my ex-girlfriend why she was by then my
ex-girlfriend.
Her reply: "
Do you remember the vacuum cleaner that you bought me for Christmas..."
[Although that is a joke, I
DID actually buy her a vacuum cleaner for Christmas... In my defence, it wasn't the
ONLY thing that I bought her that Christmas. And the other presents were
NOT practical! Her vacuum cleaner had packed up and she couldn't afford another one. And we didn't live together so I wasn't expecting her to do
MY cleaning with it!]
