How to give a shotgun 201

[sm]

What we have is a lady having a 19+21 B-Day.

Men turn 40.
Women keep their teenage status turning 19 while at the same being legal with the 21.
And folks wonder why women live longer than men...

This lady wanted a shotgun she has shot numerous time, she went nuts over.
Wait a second.
She went more than nuts, she went into full bore middle age crazy!!

She saves money, she tell daughter to work grandpa ( her dad) she tells grandparents they cannot have daughter for the weekend, she will not make her brownies she...resorted to bribe, blackmail, cheating - we got a middle age gal with a daughter w-a-y past the nuts and gone bonkers stage over a Beretta O/U shotgun.

Her parents, sly folks, did not get to be grandparents by being stupid, oh no!

Grandpa gets the exact gun she wants.
He and Grandma have 40 B-day gifts wrapped for this daughter turning 19 + 21.
Receiver, barrel , gun case, chokes, owner's manual...accessories...shells...hulls....
I mean the first box was a spent hull...then they enter the den and there are 39 more gift wrapped packages.

"No, granddaughter cannot help" - her parents said when daughter hollered out-
"Get your butt over here and help me un-wrap!"

Grandparents, granddaughter had a real good time with mom unwrapping and , could not unwrap fast enough.

Oh, I should mention these folks disguise packages real well.

I would just file that back for future reference on special gifts - like shotguns.

I did that once for a buddy of mine when me and another buddy bought him an AK-47 a number of years back. He had been talking about getting one for years, but never had enough money. And of course the longer he waited, the more the price of them just kept going up. So we decided to get him one for Xmas.
We didn't just want to give him the gun in its shipping box though; we had to be more creative than that. So I took a box that a grass trimmer had come in, put the AK in, and wrapped it up in Xmas paper. Did the same thing with all the accoutrements and ammo, using a similar technique of disguise and camoflage. I put some ammo in a box for light bulbs, wrapped the magazines up in an empty Brillo Pads carton, and used a box that some hand tools had come in for the rest of accessories. Then I placed it all inside a big cardboard box, threw in a new shovel I had bought, and made it look like we had gotten him a bunch of stuff for use around the home and out in the garden.
He never saw it coming, though he probably would have figure something was a little odd had he tried to pick the big box up before it was time to open the presents. Even to this day, just the mention of that Xmas present still brings a big smile to his face. Sometimes, a little deception can be a good thing.
