I’m not much of a gift wrapper, especially compared with the women who work at our shop. But I was the only one available the day a customer wanted a gift wrapped for his mother.

“Sorry,” I said, handing him a box covered with wrinkled, oddly taped paper. “It’s wrapped, but it sure looks like a guy did it.”

“Great,” he said happily. “Now my mum will think I did it myself.”

This was extracted from a recent copy of Reader’s Digest. Meant to humor, it struck me elsewhere instead.

What are your thoughts?
