First I have to confess that I am shopping impaired. I bring home packages and they stay unopened for awhile, sometimes for a long time.

My daughter called and asked if I had received my birthday present and I said no. All I had on my desk were unopened packages that I had ordered.

She called back and said that the shipping company had said it was delivered on Friday.

No I said. You can see where this is going, I am saying they are cheating and then when I look closely at my packages I see the gift and have to apologize profusely and then thank my daughter for the great socks.

I wonder if I will ever learn.
