ipod
my niece athena wanted an ipod for christmas. so i got one for her. i also got one for my beautiful and talented wife alisa. i put alisa's under the tree christmas eve. she picked it up and put it in the box with all the other presents for my sister and her kids. she knew by the shape it was athena's ipod. we had coincidentally used the same paper. christmas day she found it in her pile again and still didn't want to open it. finally she peeled back the paper enough to see the trademark apple logo on the box. and she wouldn't open it any further. it was clearly athena's ipod. at last i made her read the card. then and only then did she overcome the resistance to opening someone else's present. my bad. i guarantee i will be more original next year. much more original.
