Looking up from the new Ulysses S. Grant biography that I got for Christmas, I slyly began my interrogation.

“Thank you again for the book, I’m impressed that you remembered.”

My beautiful and much-more-clever-than-me wife replied, “Oh, I bought that months ago.”

Me swooping in for the kill, “Where did you hide it?”

Reading my move, my bride smiled and said, “With you, I really didn’t need to hide it much.  It was pretty much in plain sight.”

Ah, ha!  Next year, I shall find my gifts in advance, lying on the kitchen table.
