ever clawed through plastic wrapping?

A funny thing happened during Chinese New Year. My friend brought a basket of goodies for us and custom dictates that you must always reciprocate.
What I usually do is to remove the boxes of goodies that someone gives me and replace them with the goodies I want to give them in return.
But we got so busy talking and she was just about to leave when I realized I hadn’t repacked her basket with my goodies. She has two toddler sons and I remember there were a couple of boxes of cookies in a food hamper we’d received.
Her sons would love those cookies, I was thinking. The only problem was our food hamper hadn’t been unwrapped yet. It was a good thing one of her boys came bursting in right then to say he needed to “wee wee”.
While my friend was in the bathroom, I grabbed the hamper and hid in back part of my kitchen to unwrap it so I could get the boxes of cookies out and restock her basket in a flash.
In a flash? What was I thinking?
It took me forever to get the plastic wrapping off that darned hamper. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get through the wrapping without a box cutter or scissors or even a knife?
Gosh, I wrecked my nails clawing through the plastic. I sure hope her boys appreciate the trouble Auntie Clair went through for those lovely cookies
