When I was a kid, Sports Illustrated magazine was important to me. I looked forward to each issue.

So when, in my first year of being a subscriber, my copy did not arrive at the end of December, I was livid.

I decided that the mailman must have stolen it. I'm sure my parents suggested that this was unlikely. But as I recall, I was adamant. The mail carrier was a thief. Case closed.

Then I happened to read in the fine print of my latest copy that there was not an issue in the last week of the year.

Oh.

I recall that I did come clean. But I suspect I quickly moved the conversation on to other subjects.
