I just got an e-mail from my childhood friend Carol thanking me for a gift I'd left for her at her parent's house. She had a funny story to share with me. When I dropped off the present, no one was home, so I left it on their door step. In the bag (besides the Xmas present) was a stuffed hedgehog, (because she likes hedgehogs). I didn't wrap it so it was just laying there in the sack. Her dad picked up the sack and looked to see what it was and immediately dropped it - he thought it was a dead rat! Scared him to death!! I could see Howard jump and let out a little scream! Sorry Howard... not so much for the hedgehog but for laughing ;-).
