I never quite know what to do or say when someone gives you a gift that is totally worthless junk.  For example, my sister-in-law gave me her “perfectly good, hardly ever used” Roomba robot vacuum cleaner.  I was thrilled at first, took it home and cleaned it all out, plugged it in to charge it.  I already had one, and was thrilled to have another!  Well, that Roomba never charged - the battery was completely dead and non-rechargeable.  Well, that was OK, I had a spare battery.  I put the spare battery in the “new” Roomba and the “new” Roomba just sat there and squawked at me.  Wouldn’t even budge.  Completely worthless.  So now I wonder what to say if my sister-in-law ever asks me how I like the Roomba she gave me.  Should I smile and say I love it?  Or should I be honest and tell her it was broken and I never got the chance to use it.  I have to wonder if she KNEW it was broken and was just trying to get rid of it!
