My brother, Rob, and his wife, Michelle, had a cute mishap this Christmas.
My mom decided to send Michelle a gift certificate to her favorite mail order shop, and warned Rob that it was coming. It would be addressed to her, but if he could intercept it and wrap it that would be preferable.
Several days later a box showed up addressed to Michelle from the mail order shop. My brother thought my mom decided to send pick something out instead, so he wrapped it and put it under the tree for Michelle. The next day he was confused by an envelope from the same shop addressed to Michelle, but he wrapped that as well.
Meanwhile Michelle is calling the post office and the mail order place looking for a package that had been confirmed as delivered, but she couldn’t find. Did someone in the apartment steal it? Did it really get delivered?
Christmas morning Michelle opened up a box that contained the handsome men’s shirt in my brother’s size that she had ordered for him for Christmas. My brother had accidentally intercepted his own gift and wrapped it up for his wife to open.
I laughed for a long time after I heard this story because it is so easy to imagine my brother wrapping all of the packages with the best of intentions. I can only imagine how hard *they* laughed when they got the mix-up figured out.
That’s a lot more g-rated then I thought it was going to end up in the end! *wicked grin*
hee. efficient, isn’t he?
That’s hilarous. I bet the face on your brother’s wife when she opened his gift was priceless….ha ha.
