Can I wrap one present neatly after founding the Bad Wrapping Society?
Funny'That bow looks dangerously competent,' my friend said.
Four of us call ourselves the Bad Wrapping Society. It started when I covered a parcel in newspaper and used so much tape that the recipient asked whether the present was inside a window. Now we deliberately wrap gifts badly for each other.
I'm wrapping a present for my mum. She likes tidy parcels and often keeps the ribbon. I chose plain paper and made a careful bow. My friend says the founder can't defect, and has offered a cereal box and a roll of bright tape.
Mum knows nothing about our society. I don't want her gift to become the prop that proves I'm still committed to a private joke. But I also don't want to act offended by a game I created.
Can I keep the awful wrapping for gifts within the group and give Mum the neat one without staging a formal resignation?
