Sibling (in law) Rivalry

Last year for Christmas, my sister got my husband, who bleeds UK blue, a University of Georgia sweatshirt in honor of her Bulldogs. It's certainly not his first choice of schools, and he never would have bought the shirt himself, but he's worn it many times because it's a really sharp shirt. You have to understand that while Todd is a sports enthusiast and follows all the teams, my sister is a UGA enthusiast and keeps up with UGA and any other games that affect her Bulldog standings. She's already concerned about how she'll cope if she ends up going to graduate school at Georgia Tech. Well, this year for Christmas, in retaliation, Todd got Angela a Tennessee shirt, a UK pennant, a Florida Gators license plate, a WKU t-shirt and an Auburn shirt. It was a lot of fun. Angela also got Todd a pair of Tennessee socks. It was a blast! Everytime she would open the next gift we'd be watching just waiting to see her reaction. When she was opening the WKU shirt, she said, "I can live with Western. At least you didn't get me an Auburn shirt." We were holding in our laughs as much as we could knowing what she had in store. It sure made Christmas fun, but I'm a little afraid of what's going to happen next year.
