“Under your leg.”
“Where?”
“Other leg.”
“Where?”
“Other leg.”
“Where?”
“Take a wild guess. How many legs have you not looked under?”
“Oh, thanks.”
“Why don’t you use gift bags?”
“That’s cheating.”
“No it’s not. At least I didn’t just then look like a dog chasing its tail looking for the scissors.”
“I hate that expression.”
“Me, too.”
“I wonder why there are so many expressions about dogs — three dog night… dog days of summer… it’s a dog’s life.”
“Dog tired.”
“Yeah. I’m dog tired of losing stuff. Have you seen the tape?”
“Yeah, it’s under your leg.”
“Where?”
“Other leg.”
“Where?”
“Seriously?”
“Oh, thanks.”
“Can I open my presents when you finish wrapping them?”
“Are you kidding? After I go to all this trouble, you just want to rip them open? Tear them to shreds?”
“I’ll let you have yours.”
“We’ll talk. Have you seen the To/From tags?”
