Gift Exchange.

In the Mortensen family, we have somewhat of a hierarchy of gifts. It looks something like this:

1. Something found on clearance that the giver couldn't pass up because it was too good of a deal. Only given to the receiver because his/her birthday was next in line.
   
2. Coupons made in Primary (thoughtful, but never very good on the follow-through)
3. Something special picked out expressly for the receiver. Like bikes. Or bike gear. That's always a hit.
   
4. Homemade presents: slideshows, picture frames, etc. (3 and 4 are somewhat interchangeable)
   
5. Organs.

Today, Mom gets to join Dad in proffering what has only been proffered once before: an organ. The greatest of all gifts in the gift exchange hierarchy. She and Dallas just went in for the grand kidney swap, leaving Dad with one, Mom with one, and Dallas with four. Hopefully this one sticks. It's a big, little-bit-scary day in New York City.
