The Accidental Gift Basket

My husband and I recently had a baby, and family and friends have been dropping by frequently to visit and see our new addition

. We live near my family, so they've been over nearly every single day while my husband's family is spread out throughout the United States. Since his family can't precisely drop by for apparent factors, we have gotten a lot of cards, letters and gifts in the mail. One day, the doorbell to our apartment rang and I opened it to find a delivery person with a gift basket. Right after thanking him, I took the basket and put it on the table with all the cards and letters we received in the mail that day. I thought I'd wait till my husband got home from work so we could open them together.

As I checked out the gift basket, I noticed it was stuffed with European chocolates. I quickly thought that was an odd choice and was gonna look at who sent it when my newborn awoke and let me know it was time for the bottle. Right after feeding her and putting her back to sleep, I had a bit of a sweet tooth so I made the decision to open the gift basket and have a chocolate. It was scrumptious.

One chocolate turned to two and two immediately turned to four and before I knew it, I had consumed nearly half the basket. This was no small feat since there were lots of chocolates. I guess I was not quite ready to stop the eating habits I had before the baby was born. As I was taking pleasure in the chocolates, my husband came home and I mentioned that whoever in his family that sent the gift basket really understood what they were doing.

I thought it's a bit strange at first (expecting a baby gift basket, if anything) but as soon as I bite into the first chocolate, I realized that whoever had sent this, realized just how much I needed a quality chocolate break from the stress of all that comes along with having your first baby. This made me remember that I forgot to check the card, so I requested my husband to check because he was up. As it turns out, this gift basket I had nearly devoured was intended for our next door neighbor. It was delivered to us by accident. Here I am, relaxing on the couch with a chocolate in my hand when my husband breaks the news to me. With my chocolate filled mouth wide open, I looked at him so seriously as if to say, "What are we going to do?" He began laughing, which made me start laughing as I currently saw the humor in the event. We ordered a new basket to be delivered the next day for our neighbor and also went by to explain what had happened.

We all had a good laugh over it and I was relieved because I had in no way formally met our neighbor and did not know what to expect. I am really fairly happy that this occurred. I got to meet our neighbor and learned a valuable lesson about checking the card before you open the gift. I also know what I will send my friends and family following they welcome a new addition. I'm sending chocolate.
