Have you ever secretly unwrapped a gift before the big day?

Oh sure. Long ago, when the 8-bit Nintendo was still king, I got John Elway's Football (or whatever the name). I knew where my mom hid it, and I knew I couldn't wait to play. I think I took two "sick" days from school to play the thing.
Breaking the "rules" like that certainly elevated my heart rate and got me all flushed. Flushed = feverish in my household, so all was well.
I think she knew, though. It was either the lack of genuine surprise on my part when I opened the gift or the way I "mastered" the controls right away. The first game I played, I won something like 99-0....
