In the box?

One day Jack came home and saw an empty amazon.com box sitting on the dining table, he asked curiously: "What was in the box?" It reminded both of us of what Katharine Hepburn said in "Bringing up Baby." - In the box? We both chuckled.

When I told him it was a book and a hair drying towel I ordered for myself last week, he was visibly disappointed.

In this household, deliveries bring a certain kind of excitement. Just like in "The Music Man", the whole town was singing and dancing when the Wells Fargo Wagon came with deliveries.

Now I can totally see Jack doing the UPS dance.
