Faus Pas:
So, today was my little nephew's birthday. I asked my sister what to get him and she said dinosaurs (he's three).
When he opened the present, my sister was like "O he'll love it!" (insert fake enthusiasm here)
I got him this:

and

I figured he could have a dinosaur war.
So anyway, he is ecstatic over the presents, but my sister is acting wierd, like "Don't take them out of the box".
I was like "Okay".
Then, my sister gives me one of the presents she was going to give her son. She's like "SHHH, just give it to sweatone". suspiciously, a t-rex horn was sticking out of the paper. It was the same T-rex I'd given him.
Then, ten minutes later, Dbot comes downstairs giggling hysterically. My daughter has a special voice when she has the goods on someone and she giggles. She's like "Ha, we got him the worst gift ever! He has those brontosaurus too, already, its in his room!"
My sister looked pale.
Apparently, I got him two duplicate gifts. I just gave them the receipt. But, by the end of the evening, the toddlers had worked the duplicate dinosaurs from their plastic-chinese-twist-tie-prisons and all the dinosaurs were battling each other.
