A missing gift

[nutxo]

So here it is almost midnight and Im finishing up wrapping gifts. Of course there are a ton for the younger kids ( 13,14 and 15 ) and then a few for our adult children. Im done and a gift for my 21 year old son isn't in the bag.

I only bought him a few gifts. I already make his truck payment and hes been living back at home for 9 months. I'm gonna feel like absolute shit when I tell him his gift didn't make it home with us and hes going to have to wait until it reappears or I buy him a new one.

Things are tight right now. Theres no way I can just give him cash or buy him something else real quick.

:-(

Bummer. I really hope you can find it quick. Trace your steps man, it's got to be somewhere.

 

[nutxo]

Man. Ive searched everywhere. Theres nowhere it could be. The only thing that could have happened was it was left at the store.

Meh. He'll just have to be adult about it.

 

[RESmonkey]

He's 21. He will understand. Just have a chat with him.

 

[LittleMsSnuggie]

Eh... Just show him the receipt. It's the thought that counts, right?

 

[nutxo]

Meh. He just got in 20 minutes after I usually lock the door for the night. He said it was fine. I think hes drunk.

I'd be plenty happy with just the car payment :lol:

I just finished wrapping gifts... 2:30AM :\

He is 21, you are making his truck payment and he is living at home?

Is there any reason he is a bum?

I know. He's not like that though. He's my problem child all grown up into a problem adult. I could make a whole new thread about the crap he's pulled since he's been home.

Yah. Were usually up till 3 or 4 getting ready. This year Ive been wrapping stuff as we got it mostly. I only had a few things to figure out how to wrap. I hate oddly shaped stuff or things that are really obvious like skateboard decks.

Wrap it in a way that consumes excess volume to make it appear to be something else. A giant sphere.

Did you call the store you bought it from to ensure a check out clerk did not place it behind the counter etc?

Sheesh, how many kids do you have? Anyway, you put a roof over his head and pay for his car, not much else he should expect. I'd be tempted to give him a lump of coal, lol.
