Funny Memes

Looks like my mom. She always did that, and she was tricky too. I often tell this story, but it is my "A Christmas Story" moment. I had wanted a Super Nintendo more than anything in 1991 when they came out. They were expensive though and hard to get. I was sure I didn't get one, especially since there was no box that size under the tree. Not only did my mom get it, she opened it up, wrapped the console in bubble wrap and wrapped it individually. It was soft so it seemed like clothes or something that no kid ever has been excited about. 🤣 I pulled off the corner of the bubble wrap and saw the back - it took me a minute, but then it was the most exciting thing ever!

She did that all the time too. She had hidden a Ninja Turtles video game in a box of Ninja Turtles cereal, and resealed it, so the box just seemed like a stocking stuffer. She's thoughtful like that, and still tries to hide things in the wrong-sized boxes, etc. so nobody can tell what they are. She's the best!
We do this all the time too! We save any odd shaped boxes we might get during the year to disguise gifts, since we really like getting books, CDs, and DVDs, which are kind of obvious due to the size and shape. If we have something large, we often do a scavenger hunt, with the first clue wrapped up under the tree, and subsequent clues hidden around the house leading to the gift (which sometimes couldn’t be wrapped due to size/shape). It’s great when it goes right.

Oh yes, my mom loved to do the scavenger hunts, mostly for my birthday. She was fairly extreme with it, including one time she sunk packs of quarters in the pool - we were going to mini-golf/arcade place later! It could be quite the production.
