#13: The Non-Existent Boyfriend
Moms usually don’t know how to drop subtle hints, and this mother is no different. I’d have been mortified to walk in the door and see a stocking for my non-existent boyfriend. I guess mom was getting desperate to make a point. I wonder what was in it? In our family, we tailor every stocking to match the personality.

The only way this could be more epic is if she took the stocking down, put it away, and then brought the same stocking out, still filled with everything, years later when EmmyAnn finally brought a man home. Honestly, I’m not sure I would get a boyfriend after this fiasco. And if I did, I’d be reluctant to bring him home for the holidays.
