Yesterday was Scott's 27th Birthday. I hid his presents this time, and didn't give into him wanting to open them before his birthday. Once he knows I have his presents, he wants them right away. It kills him to wait, even if it is only a couple of hours. He can't keep presents a secret, he has to give them as soon as he has purchased them. He got his father a hat for Father's Day, and he gave it to him yesterday - a whole week and a half ahead of time.
He does it for my birthdays too. He goes out to get my present (without telling me) and then comes home so excited to show it to me that it rarely makes it to the wrapping stage. I think it is so cute!
I am much more disciplined. I can hide the present and put it off until the right time. If I didn't say anything, Scott wouldn't even think about it (which would be no fun.) So I will mention, casually a couple of days before the event, that I already have his gift. He will then spend the rest of the time either begging me to let him open it now, asking what it is, or looking for the gift. Life sure gets fun!

I understand Scott. I do the same things I can never wait to open gifts or give them to others. I am just way to excited to wait :)
I guess that I am at the other end of the spectrum. I love surprises to much to spoil them by ending them too soon. I also love giving gifts far more than receiving them.
Chani, tell Scott happy birthday for me.
