I think I need a Christmas mental makeover- - Page 7

I got a pack of cards in a series of boxes that started out with a large box that formerly held multiple boxes of Tide laundry detergent.

I was laughing with a class mate while watching an old video clip in Consumer Behavior. This kid opens his Christmas present and... it's a Nintendo 64. Kid starts wigging out and screaming. I'll have to find it later when I have a little more time to search for it...

Anyhow, I just thought it would have been funny if it was stuffed with socks and underwear. I had that happen to me, and while it's funny in retrospect, I was pissed then. It was one of the neighbor's old boxes... Grrr... At any rate, I did get an NES the following year, but that's not the point.

How funny would it be to give your parents the box filled with total nonsense, and then give them the Wii separately, later? I giggled about that thought pretty hard in class... Then again, I have a penchant for finding mild cruelty to be pretty funny.

(Now, back to my regularly scheduled class...)

Erica, your post reminded me of when my future MIL gave me a present. I opened the present to discover a hand held vacuum container. I was thrilled, because I had cats and messy nieces and nephews and I could have really used it. When I opened it, I discovered a leather mini skirt inside. (I was pretty techno-punk back then, so she thought that would be something I'd want). I was really kind of disappointed, as was she- the skirt cost triple what the vacuum would have.

I once received a coconut and a thing of pirate band-aids.

...oh wait, that was on purpose

I got a bag of apples for Christmas once.

"Sugar tongs".
Sounds like a term of endearment.

One of these days, I really should give someone a lump of coal...
