I copied this from another thread that I had posted on:
A fun memory that I have is also at Christmas time. My brother was about 6 or 7. My mom and I had run to the store for a short time and had left my brother at home. He wanted another GI Joe for Christmas and there was a package under the tree that he just knew was a GI Joe. He had taken the GI Joe that he had and had measured it against the box to see if a GI Joe would fit in the box. (It was a GI Joe.) Well, our house had a hallway that went from the front room into the back room. It ran through the center of the house and our Christmas tree was in the back room against the wall, but was at the end of the hallway. When we got back from the store Mom went to put some presents under the tree and noticed that the GI Joe package had been opened and "someone" had tried to re-wrap the box. Well, my brother said that he and our dashund had been running down the hallway and the dog had "run into the present", unwrapping it in the process. However, my brother assured my mom that he'd tried to wrap it back the best he could. I still remember him telling Mom the story. It was so funny!!! |
Never had to use the dog did it excuse.
I was way good....years of experience....when my mother finally caught on...she started using curling ribbon and tied knots in it....it is impossible to unknot curly ribbon...trust me, I tried. Even opened the first gift hubby, then BF, gave me. He was foolish enough to place it under our tree.
