A Gift for the Whole Family
So I’m American but I’ve lived in Dubai for the past two years. Christmas isn’t usually a big deal for my family anymore because we all live so far away.
Anyway, so last year, I Skype my parents while they’re opening presents. It’s my sister, her husband, and my parents opening boxes in front of the camera. Everyone’s laughing, they’re drinking spiked egg nog, it’s good times.
Then, they go to open the presents from my aunt who I had also, incidentally, lived with the year before when I was looking for work.
Because of this, when I had gotten my job in Dubai, I had left ONE bin of clothes at her house which I had planned to retrieve at some later date (she’s a very sweet person but also a little strange and a TOTAL hoarder so I never thought one little bin of clothes would be a nuisance).
No. No. No. She had decided it’d be a great idea to return JUST MY UNDERWEAR with the family’s Christmas gifts. To be clear, she had used MY UNDERWEAR to pad their Christmas gifts for shipping.
So I got to watch, from across the world, as my mother, father, sister, and brother-in-law had to paw through my underwear to get their Christmas presents. Story credit: Reddit/p-p-p-puppyface
