Now I want a puffin sweater .
Celia Robbins is a big puffin fan.
Which, I mean, come on, who isn’t?!
Celia’s daughter asked her what her biggest regret in life was, and Celia immediately knew the answer.
She never bought a specific puffin sweater when she visited Iceland.
“It’s been 3 years since I saw it in a shop there, and I still regret not buying it.”
My daughter require , “ Do you ever have any ruefulness , Mom ? ” And while I know she was postulate this question on a philosophic level , my thinker now went to this puffin sweater I find out in Iceland . It ’s been 3 years since I learn it in a shop there , & I still repent not buying it.pic.twitter.com/pnkVePdmaB
The post blew up with people agreeing with her.
To be fair , I ’d still be beating myself up over that too !
“I totally understand this regret,” one person said.
I totally understand this sorrow ❤ ️ 😂
“I remember a shirt I wish I had bought in 1975,” another person chimed in.
I retrieve a shirt I wish I ’d buy in 1975 .
And then a bunch of people shared pictures of their own puffin sweaters.
