I have known Danielle for just about 10 years.
She is in 8th grade with my middle daughter.
She recently made Principals List by getting straight "A's" on her report card.

I am very proud of her and told her I would get her a little something, and give it to her the next time I saw her.
She requested - CHEESE.
Dani is a unique young lady.
I wouldn't change her if I could, but this is the oddest gift I have ever given anyone.
What's the oddest thing you have given? Or received?

My aunt requested a crate of onions (Walla Walla sweet onions) one year. I think that would count as sort of odd, right?
An eighth grader requested cheese? That is strange. Are you sure there isn't some new rock group named Cheese? lol! Actually, I would love cheese as a gift. With a box of Wheat Thins. And perhaps a bottle of wine. I would hope the wine would offset the constipatory affects of the cheese....am I digressing? I think I've already had my quota of wine...
My (now ex-)husband and I had a tradition of filling each other's Christmas stockings without spending more than $5.00 in total. One year I got an engagement ring in my stocking. A real one, not from a Crackerjacks box. He broke the rule. We're divorced now. Must have been cus he broke the rule. You just don't break the rule. lol
OK, both Lori and I tend to wander. I've told you way more than you wanted to know. Sorry.;-)
Oh my gosh, this made me laugh out loud - cheese? And I love that you embellished it for presentation because that's just the nice lady you are!!!
I have to think about a weird gift I've given, I've gotten some funny ones. My sisters gave me a Christmas stocking from hell one year - it was cheap and clear plastic with such items as temporary tattoos, a potato, and a tape of Oboe and Bassoon favorites. It did make me laugh for quite a while. My sister also sneaks gnomes in on me - in my yard, my home, guest rooms, cards, you name it - because I admit I'm not fond of gnomes. There I said it. this is like True Confessions time over here - I love it!
This made me laugh out loud too - there is no way I can beat that!
I am such a cheese lover that in lieu of a cake for my 13th birthday, my mom made some giant pyramid of cheeses. It. Was. Amazing!
