What goes around comes around

Last weekend was filled with some funny incidences and stuff I created this blog for. But I will relate them little by little. I don't want to shoot my bolt all in one go. ;-)))

I was visiting my parents on Saturday and in order to express my gratitude for inviting me to this lovely trip to Amsterdam I had made a photo album with the best pictures of the haul, spiced with some funny captions that only they can make sense of. I wanted them to be able to wallow in the memories whenever they needed a boost.

And as I was just handing over my gift I received one myself. My father obviously had a similar idea. At least regarding the effect ;-))). During our journey we had often stopped for a sip in several cafés and my mom usually drank hot chocolate. There is a special brand of cocoa from the Netherlands that we used to die for as kids. It's very rich in taste and unsurpassed so far. In one of the cafés my mother was served her hot chocolate in a cup from that exquisite brand and of course I fell in love with it. Not that my china cupboard would lack any more cups, but I liked the idea of having one of these just to prolong the happy memory. The waitress was very relentless and wouldn't sell us the desired item nor could I spot it in any of the thousand souvenir shops that suddenly increased in attractiveness ;-)))). My father did the obvious: He went online and bought one for me at an auction.

So all of us were sitting there startled at the sight of our presents. This certifies the universal law that whatever you sow you will reap. It does not always return this immediately and sometimes it takes a detour before it will hit you back, but in this case the rule was blatantly confirmed.
