This story is a clever and humorous account of Susan’s revenge on her husband, Murphy, for his thoughtless Christmas gift—a vacuum cleaner—given after years of no presents between them. His “practical” gift, meant for the garage, makes her feel unappreciated, prompting her to plan the perfect payback. A year later, she gives him a hilariously inappropriate gift: industrial-sized, premium four-ply toilet paper. The whole family, including Murphy, laughs at his expense, and he never again mentions “practical” gifts. Susan’s retaliation serves as both an act of reclaiming her dignity and a reminder that sometimes revenge is best served with humor and a sense of justice.
