I always say, "you can return it whenever" and he never offers! it just stacks up. usually I take it home when he goes overseas just in case there's a plane crash, I don't want to be out my stuff, in addition to his being dead nice, huh? I think I have my own shelf in his fridge, too, with the misc foodstuffs I bring him. I think I missed that stage in childhood when you bring your mom dandelions.
