Python20 says it well “people really need to learn how to graciously accept a gift or compliment!” You don’t argue with the giver of a gift, or tell the giver they are wrong for giving you a gift, or try to return said gift to the giver.

I have been training my dear H for years. “Honey, thank you for taking out the trash!” His reply “Don’t I always??” That exchange of words did neither of us any good. Now I say “Honey I’m about to give you a compliment. Just say thank you” before I go on to tell him I appreciate him taking out the trash. He is a work in progress, but I think I’ll keep him!
