It's so "Martha" isn't it?

This is a photo of my father's gift to my mother. Isn't it heartwarming? This is nothing new. When I was a kid he got me a gift (I even remember what it was - a dark red travel bag) and put it in a brown paper bag, stapled it shut, and wrote "TINA" on it in black marker. So I just thought I would share that special magic of the holidays that only Jack Langan can give.

Just what the hell was it, anyway?

Chocolates. Not even like Godiva chocolates. They were like grocery store chocolates.

Oh, was it those new Hershey's Appathies? I understand they're chocolate sweepings mixed with army surplus cornmeal. How did your mom like them?
