THE TABLE WAS SET

It was 5:30 PM as I eagerly awaited my wife, Ellen, to show up from her day at work.

On the table was the gift sitting pretty among the wine and dishes ready for dinner.

I pretended I was busy on my laptop happily doing nothing but waiting for this moment.

"What's that?"

"What's what?"

Pointing to the gift: "That".

"Oh, that! Nothing really. Just a little gift!"

"Who gave you that?"

"Oh, I got it today."

"From Frank? Did Frank give you that?"

"Yup."

Not being able to stand it anymore she approaches the gift and moves the paper around a little without showing any signs that she is really interested.  I offer:

"You want to open it? Go ahead if you want to."

Good medicine!
