Enough

There is a shower tomorrow and I needed to get a wedding gift.  So I head on over to Bed Bath & Beyond to quickly pick something from the registry.

"I need to print a wedding registry for XX."

"Wow, sorry we have a lot of girls by that name--who is she marrying?"

"Uh-I don't know," I said-slapping my forehead for a dramatic effect.  Which (breaking away from this story for a minute) I find myself doing--at times.  I always feel like a movie director is right around the corner and this is my big break.

Story Resuming Right About ......now:  So I go home and return later in the day.  This time the store is jammed pack and there are two men at the counter.  But I do have the name and happily go down the aisle with my list.  It takes me all of three minutes to pick out this:

Collapsible Salad Spinner

Then I get into the line and pretty soon the gift is paid for.

"Can you wrap it up for me?" I ask very sweetly-because he did not offer in the first place.  My first clue something wasn't right.

"Hey, --- do you want to wrap this gift for her?" begged my man clerk, who was up there in age, to the younger man clerk who clearly was not about to wrap anything.

"No-way," replied younger man clerk - social skills missing from personality.

So off we go to the wrapping corner where he proceeds to find a bag big enough for my spinner.  Now this is where things got a little strange.  Once he put his hands on the tissue paper--he would not stop.  Literally-the gift was wrapped in wads of tissue paper.  Then tissue paper was placed in the bottom of the bag--therefore lifting the gift up to a new height it had never dreamed of before.  This brought on a spasm of single sheets of tissue paper being put all around the gift from every angle.  

"Uh--I think you can quit on the tissue paper now," (yes--I really said this) with a smile.

"Well, I think I need a few more sheets on this side," he replied--by now working up a sweat.  Finally finished and this is what it looks like if I had my camera.

Not My Present--But Looks The Same!

We both stared at it and no joke--just starting laughing because it was so funny looking.  He mentioned that his wife has told him he doesn't know how to wrap a gift and I might have to do some readjusting when I get home.  I replied that it was okay-and secretly have never had so much at Bed Bath & Beyond.

But I was think of leaving some instructions for the new bride to be on what to do with all of the tissue paper!
