Miss Manners: My mother-in-law lied about gift she got me

Dear Miss Manners: My mother-in-law precocious returned from New Zealand bearing gifts for her children and their spouses. Each acquisition was precise well-thought-out and personalized.

However, erstwhile she got to me, she claimed she’d forgotten my acquisition successful her car and near the location for respective minutes, presumably to retrieve it. When she returned, she presented maine with a chapeau and made a large woody that it was “hand-knitted with genuine alpaca wool” and “one of a kind.”
