Have You Ever Told A Little White Lie Only To Have It Backfire On You???

I nearly whacked my husband over the head with a roll of plaid wrapping paper tonight!! We would rather make sure that the other person get what we want for Christmas, than be surprise, therefore my husband told me to order a couple of things I wanted for myself, but have them delivered with his name on the package, so he could give them to me for Christnmas. I ordered myself the 5th season of Frasier, a new book by my favourite author, and a subscription to Newsweek. All totalled about the same amount he spent on the diamond necklace he bought me last year (thanks you bidz.com), so I knew it was in the budget, and he knew I'd be happy with my gifts. So tonight I asked him if he knew how to wrap a present, and he said he didn't have "a f**king clue how to wrap a present," so I told him I was going to sit him down and TEACH HIM how to wrap a present. He's gotten nicely wrapped presents from me for years, and I wanted something to unwrap on Christmas too, even if I knew what it was. Last year my necklace arrived after Christmas, and the year before the camcorder he got me also arrived after Christmas, but this year we (I) got the jump on the christmas shopping on line, so I was determined to have osmmehting to unwrap from him on Christmas morning. LOL Just as I was about to teach him how to wrap a present he confessed that he knew exactly how to wrap a present, and he told me he dind't know how to do it because "I've been married three times, and I was always the designated gift wrapper, and I am NOT going to do that again!" Now what the hell would make him think I'd do that to him, when he has received beautifully wrapped packages from me, at every possible gift-giving opportunity? and for crying out loud, if he thought I was going to act like "an ex-wife," why the hell did he marry me? And that's EXACTLY what I asked him. I also told him WHY I asked, because although I know what I am getting for Christmas, I'm not about to wrap my own gifts. LOL We had a good laugh and I told him "yes I know how to do it, but I really hate to do it unless I absolutely have to" is a perfectly acceptable answer, and one I will take into account everytime. It's better than a little while lie, no matter how "little" it is. So tell me, has a little white lie ever backfired on you before? LOL What was it, and how did you handle it?
