#1 A-hole (part 2)

Yesterday I got together with my in-laws where we exchanged our Christmas presents. Prior to arrival, I told my wife that someone would make a comment about how hard it was to get that golf club and I figured it would be my future sister-in-law. So as they passed over the box and I pulled out the club I did my very best to act like I didn't know it was coming. I also raved about how great a gift it was and how I couldn't wait to use it and how it matched up with my existing clubs. That last part was the opening they were waiting for. Of course my future sister-in-law had to remark that it was good it matched because they actually bought two clubs and had to sell the other one. Again I played stupid but it doesn't take a genius to read between the lines. I'm an A-hole for being so specific about the gift I wanted.

"Hey Merry Christmas, here's that gift you really wanted and while I'm at it, how about a big bowl of guilt thrown in with it."
