Too Many Choices
Posted by Markie on 12/21/09 in Shopping
Sometimes I wonder why my wife sends me to do the shopping. When it comes to making decisions, I never really feel like I have the right to make them – I would rather leave it in someone else’s capable hands.
But in the end, I always seem to be the one that gets to go to the store. Take today for example: we have a nephew that just graduated and my wife decided that we should send her a gift. Her idea was to get him a college diploma frame, so that he would have something to show off in his office at his new job.
I thought that it would be an easy thing to pick out as I was traveling to the store, but once I got there, I realized that I had made a mistake in assuming that it would be easy. In fact, I never imagined that there was such variety in university diploma frames that I found myself in a place I just didn’t like: I had to make a decision.
After staring at the frames for half an hour, I decided to let the sales clerk pick for me. Hopefully my wife likes the frame I bought, but if she doesn’t, she can go take it back herself.
