I remember one year when I was a kid, I got a plethora of socks. I don't know if it started out as a joke between my mom & her siblings, or what, but I got like 10 pairs of socks.

The next year I was handed a present that was long, felt soft, and wasn't very big. I said in the most irritated tone "great. more socks."

turns out it was a stuffed dog I had my eye on. oops!
