The Cursed Tie
While shopping, I spotted a good-looking men's tie. I bought it as a birthday gift for my son.
I was paying when the clerk suddenly muttered under her breath, "Disgusting!"
I was furious. When I got home, I told my husband what happened. He was ready to file a complaint, but the moment he saw the tie, his face took on a strange expression.
"Did you really buy this? If you did, we're getting divorced right now!"
My mother heard the commotion and came to see what was wrong.
When she saw the tie in my hands, the color drained from her face. She pointed at me and screamed, "How did I raise such a monster?!"
I stood rooted to the spot, completely lost.
