My parents always tried to teach us kids that it wasn't the gift we received that was important but the thought behind it. I can't speak for my siblings, but my reaction was "Hell yes, the gift is the important thing".
I've decided I was wrong. It really is the thought that counts behind the gifts your loved ones give you. Now I know why my mother always treasured that stupid blue duck I made in second grade. Why I love the mug my best friend gave me 20 years ago. Why the little gifts from my boss mean so much. Why a card from my sister is absolutely the greatest. Because they all thought about me.
If you really want to know what changed my mind - just ask me. I'd love to tell you all about the mother's day button.
