Kristin, the day before we went Christmas shopping for our friends and family, was glancing over our joint bank account and noticed a listing for Louis Vitton. Here’s a recreation of that moment:

Me: (sitting quietly at my desk typing away)
Kristin (shouting from the other room) : Oh! I saw something! I saw something! I saw SOMETHING!
Me: What?! You okay? What’s going on?
Kristin (shouting from the other room) : Oh! I saw something! I saw something! I saw SOMETHING!
Me: What did you see?
Kristin (in my office suddenly, hand over mouth, still shouting and sort of squealing, simultaneously): I SAW SOMETHING!
Me: It’s not a roach is it? [Note: Our old place had roaches from time to time and so far (knock on wood) our new place has been roach free; thus the question]
Kristin (suddenly very sober and standing up straight with her hands hanging at her sides and a disgusted look on her face): Oh, God, no!
Me: What was it?
Kristin (eyes widening, hands coming back up to cover her mouth): I’m sorry it was an accident… I saw something on the joint checking!

So, she knew her Christmas present. The next night we went shopping and I pointed out exactly what I wanted and she bought it in front of me. There was no surprise left in it, so I figured, why wait? I proposed that we exchange early, so we did as soon as we got home that night, and now I am the proud owner of a Sony Portable Reader.

Bah humbug to all those who read this and would judge us for this early exchange!
