Traveling with the Currents: The Adventures of the Green Shirt!!

Every Christmas, Grandpa would take mom and Aunt Tammy shopping for Grandma’s Christmas. One year they were at T.J. Max and Aunt Tammy found the most hideous green shirt that she could find and purchased it. She decided that she would wrap the shirt up for Grandma and put it from Darin. Aunt Tammy put it into a box and wrapped it up really nice for Grandma! Christmas morning came and as we were opening presents Grandma said that her package was from Darin. He kept looking around and whispering to Ashley that he didn’t get Grandma anything. Grandma opened up the shirt and held it up. Aunt Tammy and mom could not stop laughing. Grandma was trying to be nice and say that it was a pretty shirt. The truth finally came out and so the adventures of the green shirt began.

From that Christmas, the green shirt was passed around. It has made a few surprise visits to events such as my gift from Aunt Tammy when she returned from Florida or an anniversary gift for Grandma and Grandpa. The shirt has definitely gotten around the family.

Fast forward to this trip. Aunt Tammy gave us each a package as we were leaving. She told us that we couldn’t open it until we were on the plane to Dubai. We waited until then and when I was opening mine, I noticed that there was quite a bit of tape on it. I got inside and under some tissue paper was the green shirt. This shirt has come to me more often than to some of the others. I have decided to have a little bit of fun with the green shirt since I have it with me. I decided that I would do the adventures of the green shirt!
