Thank you, thank you very little...

We just got a brilliant thank you card. The son of one of my wife's co-workers is getting married, and we sent them a wedding gift. Not wanting to seem cheap, we gave them a pretty nice gift - one of those new-fangled digital picture frames. A nifty little thing.

It was in an odd shaped package, so we needed to find a box the right size. After much searching, we found an old box, wrapped up the gift, and sent it off.

Today we get the thank you card from them:

"Thank you for the unique excercise equipment. We'll need it after our long vacation."

Huh? Wait a second... the box we used to package the gift was from something we bought a couple of years ago, a VersaDisc balance training tool.

Great. They're thinking that we bought them some cheap, bizarre exercise thing, and are probably carelessly tossing around a box that contains some electronic equipment. They most likely unwrapped the present, saw the box, and thought "What cheapskates!"

The strange thing is that everybody knows that you give a VersaDisc to a mother at a baby shower, to help her get rid of that extra baby fat. She should have known that it isn't appropriate for a wedding.

Sigh.
