Every New Year’s since I was 6, my stepmom has given me a plastic pig.

Since the age of six, my New Year’s tradition involved receiving an unusual gift from my stepmom – a plastic pig. Each year, without fail, I accepted these quirky presents with a gracious smile to preserve her feelings amid mental health issues. However, this year took a surprising turn when my sister, unable to tolerate the annual charade any longer, confronted me about my cluelessness. To my amazement, she revealed that I should check the underside of the plastic pig.

Discovering a tiny note, I learned the truth – “Just because it’s funny!” Year after year, my stepmom had been engaging in a lighthearted prank, finding immense humor in the repetition of an odd and seemingly meaningless gift. This revelation added a new layer of appreciation for her unique and endearing sense of humor, making this peculiar tradition a charming and unforgettable chapter in our family’s New Year celebrations.
