Laura: Do you want to keep this flowery towel Christmas gift from Aunt Lynda?
Adam: That's not a towel. It's a really thick scarf.
Laura: Honey, it's so garish.
Adam: Garish? Really? It looked french to me.
Ironic! I have a sister named “Lynda” (yes, with a “Y”), and she’s aunt, of course, to my sons. She’s been to France (along with several other countries) more than once, and many times she brings us a brightly-colored scarf as a souvenir. Which, because that’s not my taste (or my husband’s or sons’) it usually gets put in the pile that gets donated to the thrift store.
I believe she meant garish as in excessively or disturbingly vivid, or tastelessly showy. In any case, who cares? Wear it under your jacket and no one will know. It DOES match what she is wearing! ;) Why is it one minute Adam seems smart and the next he’s not?

Would the Garish be from Gary, Indiana?

General Humanities, I know of him. He was a military failure because he refused to kill anything.

Garish means it comes from Bulgaria.

Send it to Carmen of “Pooch Cafe.” She never wears anything but orange. Though it seems to match your outfit today Laura.

Towel or scarf - I’d use it this week - it’s cold in SC!
