Valancy Jane: Buy it as a Christmas gift for your mother.

Mysterious Coworker: I bet that would get an uncomfortable, “Um, that’s…nice.”
Valancy Jane: I know.
I LOVE that reaction.
You wanna know the best way to get that?
Wrap and give a phone book.
Mysterious Coworker: Hahaha I just threw out like 5 of those.
Valancy Jane: Something about the weight, they’re really expecting something awesome.
Act like you really expect them to be happy about it.
“Do you know how many phone numbers are in there?”
Mysterious Coworker: Hehe.
