Souvenirs

Souvenir shopping in London

Robyn:  What souvenir would you like to bring home, Nate?

Nate:  I want to get a real sword.

Robyn (to herself):  What? What's he going to do with a sword?  Is he going to dress up in medieval costumes and do pretend sword fights with people in the park?  (out loud):  Um.  I don't think they will let you bring that home on the plane.

Nate:  I guess, I'll get this mug then.


A few weeks later an Amazon package arrives.

Robyn:  What is this?

Nate:  Oh good!! It's my sword?

Robyn:  Your what?

Nate:  I ordered this sword on Amazon since I couldn't bring one home from London.  It's awesome!

Robyn:  But, you already got a mug.

Nate delightedly pulls the sword out of the package and gazes admiringly at it.

Robyn (to herself):  How did this happen?
