My mom always put a pack of football cards in my bother and my stockings. She pulled me aside the night before to tell me that she had bought an older pack for each of us, hoping that one of us got the Favre rookie card that my brother wanted. She suggested that I hide it and give it to him for his b-day in January. I was thinking, "OK... like one of us are actually going to get that card." Well, I got it. I was so nervous that he would find out, I was shaking. Then he asked to see what cards I got. I quickly slid out the card, and took it up to my room. He never found out, and was shocked on his b-day, because he knew I couldn't afford the card.
That is so sweet.
