Maternal Instincts

For just about every guy out there, there are things that you can count on from your mother. In addition to boasting about your every accomplishment or simply being your biggest supporter, your mother is also undoubtedly predictable when it comes to holiday gift giving. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, Owen came to this realization during our family Christmas gift exchange this evening.

The moment, caught on video, clarifies the gift giving tradition that I'm referring to.

The reaction politely conveys "Gee...thanks...I can't wait 'til next year." Jokes aside, the remainder of the gift giving was far from predictable.

May your stocking be filled with stockings this Christmas. Thanks mom. No, seriously...thanks mom!
