I am way curious person. So are my kids. It's no wonder why Braden's favorite cartoon is Curious George or that Berkley is becoming quite a fan too. Part of it is just being boys, kids and my off spring. It's like not knowing what gift I was getting for my birthday, which is pretty rare (since I usually provide a list and all) or waiting for Christmas morning to open all the presents. So things like this practically KILL ME!
Sure, you're thinking, "Oh, a nice large box from Amazon on your doorstep. What could the problem be with that, since you are a self admitted Amazonaholic?" The problem is that it isn't for me! Dang Fed Ex dropped it off on my birthday, no less, and it is a completely wrong delivery. Wrong street, city, zip -everything. I have been not so patiently waiting for Fed Ex to come pick it up and get it to its rightful owner for 5 days! 5! Yes, they know it was delivered wrong, and they swore someone would come get it, on Monday. And, since that didn't happen I assume they meant eventually. Oh, and I have counted not 1 but 4 Fed Ex trucks on my street since then, by the way.
But I wanna know, how long until that whole 'possession is 90% of ownership' thing. Seriously. I am not a bad person, I return mail, flowers and other packages to my neighbors when they are mistakenly delivered to me. In fact, I have received my next door stranger-neighbor's Mother's Day and Birthday flowers several years in a row and always watched for her car to take them over.
But come on, I am dying to know what is inside... It's like when you return something to lost and found and eventually the store/hotel/school calls and says, "It's been a week/month/year and no one has claimed it, come get your Sapphire & Diamond ring, earrings and necklace." (True story, happened to my sister...). How long before I can peek inside at least? It's killing me...
Maybe I will email Martha Stewart and ask her the etiquette on something like this. And maybe, now that I have put it out there, Fed Ex will finally come get it and remove the temptation.

I don't blame you! It would drive me absolutely mad! Open it, open it, open it!! You can always tape it back up. Now I want to know what's inside!!
Oh, that is just too much to bare! Don't they know who you are?;) I don't know if I could do it. My curiosity would get the best of me. But I would be afraid it would be something bad like adult books, inconspicuously packaged. Yikes!
I would totally open it up! (then of course tape it back up!)
You should open it, cuz now I wanna know what's inside! :)
Okay okay... I am going to jump on the bandwagon and say OPEN IT UP... TAPE IT BACK UP! I think we all have to know what is inside it now. He he!
Oh my gosh! I totally remember that happening to Robyn up at Snowbird forever ago. She was seriously excited! I'm with everyone else. Open the dang box. Like Genny said, you can always tape it back up it FedEx shows up to claim it one day. And if not...Merry (early) Christmas to you! Hopefully it's full of super cool stuff!!!
Oh Caryn, BE STRONG!!!
open it!!!
Open it!
Oh you poor thing! And a nice big box too! But Sherry's right. It could be anything! (Amazon.com doesn't sell live spiders, does it? That'd scare me spitless and I'd then have no desire to open another box!)
I think you are allowed to take a peak since you are holding on to that massive box until they pick it up. Happy Birthday Friday! You make me look old!
Ok, It's Friday now, and I still have not peeked! But what if it is chocolate and it is going to waste???
you crack me up!
oh my gosh you are SO funny :) i would be dying to know too! i'd open it and then tape it back up! haha jk... idunno if i could really do that, but i know my hubs could! maybe have one of your boys do it and blame it on them ;) hahaa jk again! happy belated bday though!
OK that is hilarious! But if you do open it (my vote) you have to share with us what's inside.....unless it's rated X!
