I had gone down stairs to get the mail at our old apartment and there was a large box for me. I was super excited since it was from TX and I assumed it was my first baby/shower gift for Emily, I am pretty sure I squealed. But I was patient, I waited for Bryan to pick me up (think we were going out to eat or something).
Once in the car, I ripped open the box. The wrapping paper was blue and white - but still had a pretty floral pattern so I thought nothing of it.
But as I started opening up book after book after book... I started to think that whoever sent me the gift did not know me at all. They were all about sociology and brainy stuff like that. Interesting baby gift to say the least.
The last present, a picture of the ugliest dog ever sealed the deal. I was completely confused as to why someone would send me a picture of their ugly dog- and then it clicked. It was my sister's dog that she co-parented while in college. The books were meant for her. This was not my gift.
My sister had given my address to her friend while she was moving up North for the summer. She stole my joy with that mistake.
But Bryan and I had a really good laugh about it, a really good laugh. I am still traumatized.
