Elises First Wrapping Job

This was Elise’s first wrapping job. She did not want to hurry. This was for her grandma. One of her favorite people. Daddy asked, “are we almost finished here?” “She’s doing a great job,” Mommy said. Daddy sat down to watch, enthralled. He had never wrapped a Christmas present. Maybe one day you can teach me, he said. His daughter thought that he was kidding. He could not have been more serious.
