PROMPT WORD: BOX
Milly held the box out in front of her, excited to see what was inside but fearful of her reaction to Aunt Betty’s gift. Aunt Betty was known for her extremely inappropriate gifts, even though everyone knew she had no idea they were so bad, she really did mean well. Milly felt everyone’s eyes on her, anticipating the opening of this precarious gift. Milly pulled off the bow and laid it to the side of her on the bench. Lifting the top off the box, Milly was surprised to see that Aunt Betty had given her the best gift ever, a gift card to Walmart! The other party-goers stared in awe, wondering what had changed in Aunt Betty and hoping when it came to their birthdays she was still in this mood!
