Phew! Now that’s what I call a great escape.
See, it’s Father’s Day today. So, dutifully, a week or so back I wrapped up my dad’s present. A book, just out, about one of his favourite restaurants.
Meanwhile, a close friend has just moved abroad. We bought her a leaving present, as one does. A book. Only somewhat older – a dusty volume, containing a history of corporal punishment through the ages.
I wrapped it. And now for the basic error: in the same wrapping paper as my dad’s gift. And then went to make myself a cup of tea.
It was only after popping the Father’s Day gift into the envelope, ready for my trip to the Post Office, that it occurred to me to double-check that I’d picked up the right book. There was nothing for it but to unwrap the volume – and it was a good thing that I checked. I mean, I know we know he’s fascinated by spanking, and so would have loved his surprising gift – but I doubt my mum would have approved of the illustrations in the book that he so nearly received.
He’d have loved it… what a pity you checked, although I am wondering what the other book was about, and would your friend have been happy to receive it?
OK, that’s so funny!! Imagine your mother’s face! (Well, at least I’m imagining MY mother’s face in the same situation, and it would be, urm, ‘a picture’!)
It’s Father’s day? Oops… Still, nice escape there!
Abel: Was your heart pounding?
When I look to send an email I only need to type in the first letter and email addresses for those beginning with the letter appear. A spanko friend shares the letter with a very vanilla friend. Recently I had the scariest of scary moments when I thought I had selected the wrong address.
It is all oh so funny until one realizes the repercussions.
Could have been a lot worse if one of the books had been a graphic BDSM book.

Rob- Yeah, that’s why I have two seperate email addresses, I have to email my teachers work so I’ve got all of their addresses, can you imagine the potential for disaster!?
