Have you ever accidentally received a present that wasn't meant for you?

Or, was there a time when you were expecting a present and you accidentally got a present that was not only not a present for you, but wasn’t a present at all? Well, if you were at your 7 year old birthday and someone apparently gave you, say, a bottle of glue for a present, would your reaction possibly be something like this

Poor kid! It was my granddaughter’s 7th birthday today. There were a bunch of presents piled up on the picnic table, and she’d opened several of them. But someone how, someone had left a Walmart bag with their own personal purchase of glue mixed in with her present…and I got the shot!

Here are the next few moment in sequence (yes, I was a shutter snappin’ fool!) The first is her sweet anticipation at opening it.

The second is the one above…her reaction.

The third is when the few people who caught it started laughing, POOR THING! But some things you can’t help.

The fourth is mom making it all better, and explaining that it was an accident.

The fifth is “All better now!”

:) Did you ever have an experience like this as a kid? Or, as an adult, were you ever left befuddled and confused by a gift that made absolutely no sense?
