All i had to do was ask....
Last September my father's sisters asked me what I would like from them for Christmas.
Now, I'm well beyond the age of flipping through the Sears & Roebuck and marking up my Christmas wishes. If they gave me nothing but a nice card I would be happy. However, since they were kind enough to consider my desires....
"I'd like a big, big box of books. I mean a big, big, big box of books." I held my arms out to demonstrate what a thirtysomething considers big. Oh, and I kindly offered them an out. "Or a nice bag. Whichever."
To be honest, I expected the whichever. The request was really an attempt to just get a nice whichever.
Imagine my surprise on Christmas Eve when six boxes of books were waiting for me under their tree! How awesome are they?
By the way, I got the whichever as well. A nice messenger bag. Go figure.
