My Boss Gave Me The Book ‘My Cat Is Better Than Your Baby’
1. A Very Honest Birthday Card
One time, I got a birthday card from my grandma. It had a lovely message on the front about how special I am. Inside, she wrote, “You’re not getting any younger.” Thanks, Grandma!
2. The Unexpected Tip
A friend of mine worked as a waiter and once received a $100 tip with a note that said, “This is for your amazing service, not because you’re cute.” Well, that’s one way to keep things professional!
3. Surprise in the Mail
I ordered a sweater online and when it arrived, there was an extra package. It was a small box of chocolates with a note: “Thank you for being our customer!” Sweet in more ways than one.
4. Mystery Neighbor
One day, I found a bouquet of flowers on my doorstep with a card that said, “From your secret admirer.” To this day, I have no idea who left them, but it made my week.
5. The Cat Book
My boss handed me a book called “My Cat Is Better Than Your Baby” as a gift. I don’t even have a cat or a baby, but it was hilarious and made for a great conversation starter at work.
6. The Best Wrong Number
I got a text meant for someone else that said, “Your lasagna is in the oven.” I replied, “Wrong number, but now I’m craving lasagna.” They responded, “Come over, there’s plenty!” I didn’t go, but it was a fun exchange.
7. Unexpected Compliment
While walking down the street, a stranger stopped me and said, “You have the most infectious smile.” It completely turned my day around.
8. Surprise Gift
My roommate once left a small gift-wrapped box on my bed. Inside was a tiny cactus with a note that said, “Thought you could use a little prickly friend.” It was so unexpected and cute!
9. The Accidental Confession
A co-worker accidentally sent an email meant for their partner to the entire office. It was full of sweet nothings and plans for a romantic dinner. They were mortified, but we all thought it was adorable.
10. Found Money
I found a $20 bill inside an old book I borrowed from the library. There was a note attached that said, “Buy yourself something nice.” It felt like finding buried treasure!
11. The Unexpected Visitor
During a video call, my cat decided to jump onto my lap and stay there. My colleagues found it hilarious and it lightened up the whole meeting.
12. The Bonus Meal
Ordered takeout and got an extra dish I didn’t order. When I called the restaurant, they said, “Keep it, enjoy!” Free food always tastes better.
13. Random Act of Kindness
A stranger paid for my coffee in the drive-thru line. I paid it forward by covering the order for the car behind me. Spreading kindness feels great!
14. The Unplanned Adventure
Got lost while hiking and stumbled upon a hidden waterfall. It was the best accidental discovery ever.
15. The Best Compliment
Someone once told me, “You make people feel seen.” It was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me and it still makes me smile.
