Today, I saw my daughter dusting her furniture with the white handkerchief I gave her as a wedding present. It's been in our family for 4 generations. FML

Does she know it was a family heirloom? If not, did you tell her?

That's sad; a lot of people don't have appreciation for family heirlooms anymore! You should take it back!

I thought 3 meant wiping the baby's butt with it but maybe I'm wrong.

I thought #3 meant that the handkerchief will be serving its actual purpose, but your idea is even better. Though that's a really strange baby wipe.

Was there fire on the furniture?

Well I would choose dust over whatever DNA your ancestors wiped up with it. Lol

Four generations of snot... Nice gift I guess...

My opinion is gifts can't have strings. If you need to control how the other person uses it, it is not a gift.

You gave your dauther a "white handkerchief" for a wedding present....... that is just pointless. Your dauther put it to good use if you ask me. #68 thumbs up.

wrong, most brides receive a family heirloom at their wedding. its meant to stay in the family and be passed down. My Grandma gave me a beautifully embroidered one that was my "Something Old" at the wedding. I got it cleaned and pressed after and its in my wedding shadow box where it will stay until one of my children gets married.

Now it has a purpose,be happy about it.

A successful business is what I'd like to hand down the generations. Not a handkerchief.....
