So- in my quest to get Mrs.File her Christmas presents, I shopped on-line for a robe she'd indicated she wanted - nice conservative pastel floral pattern.. 6 weeks early!!!!! (Extra points!!!!) I AM GOLDEN! Anyway, I stashed it at my office to avoid detection... Christmas eve day I open the shipping bag and see this....

After a few horrific slack-jawed moments, I cracked up., wrapped it up for her to open Christmas day. It raised her eyebrows a bit when she opened it andy girls got a good laugh.... The saving grace was that it was the correct size..... If that thing had showed up and been XXL or something... I'd probably winterkill from sleeping in the shed....

In a shipping department somewhere there is a lowly lumpkin laughing hysterically imagining the chaos that was caused intentionally.

I've learned the lesson more than once that you should open a package you get in the mail or something from the store and make sure it works when you first get it. I'll probably keep making the mistake, but it is harder to explain why you didn't return it in a timely manner when the dang thing was never right (or never worked).

Off topic a bit. Good thing that one worked out.
