Just for the record I may have stolen one of the presents from under the tree, that may have been addressed to my Dad and it may have contained a chocolate orange and I may have eaten it. All of it. Who amongst us has not done something similar? let he who is without sin cast the first stone I say. However when confronted by the police I am going to go for, “Well Officer, I was walking past the tree and I stumbled over a misplaced piece of tinsel which caused me to fall against a present and this innocent act caused the wrapping to come off the said present and at that precise moment I was having a huge yawn and inadvertently may have swallowed the chocolate orange that had come loose.” Not a court in the land that would convict me though I am hoping to be a repeat offender when the families backs are turned so may well have to come up with a better explanation next time.
