Charlie received an early birthday from his Uncle Chris, who has his same initials (CHN).
A box came from Lands End with new sateen sheets and embroidered pillow cases (they look like CNH because this embroider style puts the last name in the center).
We left a thank-you

voicemail for my brother, Chris, but then got a puzzled call fback rom him. Seems the sheets were, in fact, meant for him. Chris shipped them to us accidentally, because he still had our address as his default shipping address at landsend.com.
We saw CHN and assumed they were for Charlie. Too late, of course. Charlie has spent all afternoon in his room, cleaning and preparing his new bed. I've never seen him so happy with a gift. Even though he's seen this video, he doesn't understand the mixup.
Now what does a person do? How do you take a four year old's new gift away? But how can you steal from your brother?
(PS I finally caved, and sent my brother 200 bucks via PayPal because I can't live with guilt from either of my lil' CHN).
Want to order us some? I love the feel, and Jo and I have a King bed and our sheets are lame:
