I have better ways to waste my time, like watching reality tv.<br />Also, now that none of my kids believe in Santa, I make them wrap all the gifts.

He's tried to teach me his method, but I never get it right. And, I blame sloppy corners on the fact that wrapping paper is so cheap now that you can barely fold it without it ripping. <br />Actually, maybe the truth is, I suck at wrapping too.

One of my husband's presents has a gap because I used a scrap instead of measuring out and cutting another piece. I left it. I just can't be bothered to care. The box is all white where I left it exposed so he can't guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
