Oh, another gift story. Last trip was Christmas and our friend asked us for some more handwarmers p you know the orange packages about an inch and half long by an inch tall (Siberia is brutal - we averaged HIGHS of -20F) for her and her family since they do alot of walking and they loved the ones we brought last time. So that got me to thinking and I tucked a few packages into the gifts I gave to caregivers at the baby home. One day one of them took our friend aside and began to ask her something (in Russian of course) and then I saw my friend start laughing hysterically, then finally, compose herself long enough to respond, then the caregiver turned comepletely white, then she too began to laugh hysterically. Turns out the caregiver thought the handwarmers were teabags of some sort (I also had put flavored tea bags in their goodie bag) and went as far as to boil the water, put the warmer in the water, and drink some!

Warning: Do not give handwarmers as gifts unless the recipient knows what they are for! TOO FUNNY!
