Treasure

Today, I found an unfamiliar ring in my purse. Thinking it was fake, I gave it to a little girl. Thanks to my mother, I later found out that the ring was my grandmother's and it was made of gold and had a real ruby. My mother added that my grandmother trusted me to keep it in our family. FML

Today, my 8-year-old daughter came home from school, saying she had gotten engaged and was wearing a ring. It looked real. Later that night, I got a call saying that their son had given my daughter his grandma's engagement ring. My daughter actually said no to the engagement, but still took the ring, FML

Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML

Today, my 6 year-old granddaughter was sitting on my lap, playing with the rings on my fingers. After a moment, she pointed to a gold ring with many jewels and said, "When you die, can I have that one?" FML

Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML

Today, I came home to my mother-in-law wearing the gold chain which I usually keep in a hidden drawer. I searched my drawer only to find out my chain was missing. I asked my mother-in-law if she took it and she keeps denying the fact that she stole it from me. My husband is on her side. FML

Today, I found a diamond on the floor, which I could only assume was from one of my brother's cheap earrings. I was positive that it was fake. To prove it to myself, I ran it across my window, as they say only real diamonds cut glass. It's real. FML

Why in heaven's name did somebody just stick it in your purse without telling you?

You probably should have at least checked with somebody before assuming it was fake

It's funny that you didn't consider why a ring magically appeared in your purse. I'd think you'd find out what it is doing there before giving it away.

I'm curious as to why you gave it to "a little girl." The way it's phrased, it was a random child, not a family member or close friend's child. Are you in the habit of giving away things to strangers? That's kind of creepy.

No, it's just called being nice. I've often given kids free stuff. When I have a double from those gachapon machines, if I see a kid admiring a keyring I have...they often appreciate it much more than we do as adults and it's nice to see them smile. As long as it's not something that important it's not really a big deal.

#75 some of the first things people teach their kids is don't talk to strangers and don't take gifts for them. you going around giving things to kids you don't know is bad because if their parents see they may think you have bad intentions, or even worse the child might become too trusting and meet someone with bad intentions. think before you act next time no matter how much child may like your gift.

Did you get the ring back!? I find it odd that you assumed something and give it away. If it comes to any jewelry I would not give it away - fake or not.

If I found something in my purse I wouldn't just give it away, I'd talk to the people around me and make sure they hadn't mistakenly put it there

YDI how can you just give something away without checking with people in your life if its something that is important. For real, what is this drive to get rid of unfamiliar things on first sight...
