My sister gifted me the third book of a fantasy trilogy series once.
I never read or got the first two books.

Also, when I was little, my grandma (who hated me with passion) bought me a pink bike just to piss me off, because she thought a boy wouldn't ever like that color. I rode that bike until I was too tall to use it and every time she saw me enjoying that thing she was furious. :)

The propensity for you and your grandma to both act out of spite for one another is impressively high. Its good to have proof you're related

Oh, you're mistaken. I enjoyed that bike because it was a good bike. It just wasn't "boy-colored", but I didn't mind.
