Yesterday was my wife's birthday. We have a standing agreement not to buy big gifts for each other, but we usually get something small that will be appreciated. I don't usually do joke gifts, but this was sort of one. I bought her an assortment of her favorite chocolates, unwrapped them all, and put the chocolates in a different sack. Then I gift wrapped a box with the empty wrappers in it. I gave our six year old son a piece of chocolate to eat while I gave my wife her gift package with empty wrappers in it. I had made her a card with the following poem that I composed, and gave it to her after she had opened the gift and had a perplexed look on her face:
Today is your birthday,
I hope you have fun!
I bought you some chocolates,
and only ate one.
Our young son came by,
and he ate all the rest.
You know how he loves chocolate.
He could not resist!
(After she had a good laugh I gave her all the birthday chocolate. lol)
