i had finished my christmas shopping early and had wrapped all the presents. having two curious children, i had to find a suitable hiding place.
i chose an ideal spot—the furnace room. i stacked the presents and covered them with a blanket, positive they’d remain undiscovered.
when i went to get the gifts to put them under the tree, i lifted the blanket and there, stacked neatly on top of my gifts, were presents addressed to "mom and dad, from the kids."
