Home shopper

Content by Mitch Osborne

My grandmother loves the Home Shopping Network. Ever since she got direcTV Service, she has been watching HSN and ordering us all sorts of gifts that we don’t really need. Just last week she gave me a sweater that she bought on HSN that felt like velvet and had cats on it. I can never say no to her so I just thanked her, but I really do not want her to waste her money on gifts that I do not need. One thing I do not mind her buying for me on HSN is jewelry. She has excellent taste in jewelry. I am always relieved when she tells me she bought me something and pulls out a small box because I know I will not be disappointed with what she picked out for me. I can’t help but laugh when my brother tells me that Grandma bought him some kind of toy on HSN. She forgets that he is 20 years old, and usually buys him some kind of riding toy or remote control car. I think part of the problem with her obsession with HSN is that she does not get out of the house enough. I think I will make it my goal to take her somewhere twice per week to get her out of the house. After all, I can only take so many cat sweaters.
