LOL sounds like my dad, although he did it a little more sneakily. He took
whichever of us girls was the youngest (read dumbest) at the time, and would
take out something like maybe a Sears catalog, sit us on his lap and start
going page by page until he saw our faces close up or we started acting
funny and would know every gift beforehand. Of course, my little sister was
the best...she would take him to the page, and say we didn't get you that.
