To Peek, or Not to Peek

A few days ago, I ended the post with this question: Did you ever peek at your Christmas gifts when you were a child? My kid sister, Pam, confessed that she and my baby sister, Jerri conspired together one year to peek. Here's her story...

Pam says that she was about nine years old, which would have made Jerri about seven. There came a moment when they were the only two in the house. They chose one of Pam's boxes first, and carefully peeled back the tape from the end of the package so that they could open up the paper flap without tearing it. The gift inside? A Bible! Stricken with guilt and remorse, they quickly resealed the package, their proclivity to peek divinely squelched.
