Default Wrapping presents

The utter day my wife called me from her work, :Honey: would you mind wrapping a few of the presents. Id told her,why sure sugar babe,"No Problem"

Well I got the paper out and tape and everything Id thought Id needed to get r-done with. There was a large box, a gift for my son,Big Trees he was named after me. I rolled that paper off and it keep on rolling off the dang table,paper was every-wear,so I just kinda bunched it all up and taped it the best I could.

Ohh man,this was alot of work! Once my wife got home that night from work,she asked me,did you wrap the presents. I sur did,well least one before's I ran out of paper and I cked in both bath rooms but they was out too??

The Bathroom!!!! She said, where is the one you did finish!! Over herr,she cryed oh my God! You used toilet paper. And whats with the gray duct tape and one of my best glass bowls.Plus why did you use all the toliet paper we had

Why sugar babe, I thought that new Christmas paper would be too slick for the kids,I remember how slick the Sears catalog paper was too me when I was a boy.sitting out in the cold weather in tha outhouse and then there was that dang cold slick paper.

Plus the dog got alot of the 1st four rolls of the paper and I had to chase him down course bys then,he had chewed alot of it up. So I had to use alot of tape and you told me on the phone,make sure you use a nice bowl on top of the present.

I like Christmas but wrapping them ther presents really isnt my thing plus that there present almost killed me,with the dog bit'n me twice.
