Buying Something You Felt Sorry For

Prompt: Have you ever bought something you felt sorry for but secretly wanted it? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

I used to order a big white rose corsage with two small red roses for my mother every year for Mothers Day. I went every year to pick it up at tge flower shop. They had a ceramic Garfield on the shelf with other items. It sat there. I love Garfield. I would look at it every year but didn't buy it. For six years, it sat. I told my husband if the Garfield item hasn't been sold this year, I am going to buy it. Sure enough, Garfield was still there. I bought it. The sales lady was glad it was getting sold. I felt sorry for it. It is now sitting on a shelf next to my ceramic snowman cookie jar. Garfield probably wishes the Snowman had cookies in it. I secretly wanted Garfield for years. I feel sorry for Garfield. I read his comic everyday. I have a stuffed Garfield, too. He is dressed like Uncle Sam. Garfield holds a place in my heart.
