Ron got his Christmas
gift a little early
In spite of all Fran Wassink's efforts, her
husband Ronald still won't be surprised by
his Christmas gift this year.
Every year Fran, an employee of the
Royal Bank in. Brussels,buys her husband a
Christmas gift and he usually guesses what
it is ahead of time. This year they went to
Kitchener and split up to do their own
Christmas shopping.
Frnn came back with all her parcels
wrapped because she said she didn't want
Ronald to find out what his Christmas
present was this year.
Unfortunately, her choice of present, a
smoke detector, was perhaps a lot more
efficient than she had expected. She put
the wrapped package in the trunk of, the
-ear. While driving home, every once in
a while, the couple heard a beep.
"What's that?" Ronald asked and then
guessed what.his Christmas package was.
"I'll try again next year. Hopefully he
won't guess again next year," Fran said.
