Don't Look at Me, I Can Barely Wrap a Present

There's origami, and then there's origami.

I dunno man, those patterns look nearly as artsy as the product. I used to be able to fold up a paper rocket, but it's been so long I'm not sure I remember how. Don't even ask about the present wrapping skills. It's pretty ugly.

why would you want to wrap a present? There are people who will happily wrap it for you at the mall (sometimes free, sometimes for a nominal charge), at any online store, or, if it's for someone other than your wife or my fiancee, they'll happily wrap it and put all sorts of little things on it to make it pretty. Given all of this, I think I can make it through the rest of my life without wrapping a single present...

I dunno, Ron, there's just something about a amateurishly-wrapped present, covered in duct tape, wood glue, and bite marks, that says, "Honey, I did this all by myself (so don't ever trust me to change the baby's diaper again)."
