Anyway... back to the issue at hand. The kids. Excited. About Christmas.
Caitlynn has been asking me every day for the past couple of weeks the same questions: When are you buying gifts? What are you buying cousin Ethan for Christmas? When are you decorating for Christmas? Every. Single. Day. Since Halloween. I have had a conversation about Christmas with my daughter. I'm on the verge of turning into Scrooge.
She is really concerned about buying cousin Ethan a great gift. I have a few things in mind for Ethan. He's a funny kid and deserves funny gifts. However, I'm not sure he would enjoy the gifts Caitlynn has picked out for him. She and Miles went "shopping" for Ethan's present in their room and they showed me the "presents" they wanted to give their cousin.
Suffice it to say, I now have a list of things Ethan will not be receiving on Christmas:
- Paperclips
- A mini MSU (ahem... Montana State U) ball with the lettering worn off
- Ken's head
- Barbie's leg
- A white plastic block from the "Ice Breakers" game
- A used pencil without an eraser
- A battery (probably a dead one)
Ethan, you owe me a big "Thank you!" for not sending you a box of junk from the floor of Caitlynn and Miles' room. They were quite serious about sending you paperclips and the MSU ball.
This reminds me of the time when my brother (Ethan's dad) and his wife (Ethan's mom) gave me a bunch of birthday "gifts" that were actually things that I owned. They went through my room and wrapped up various things ... shoes, socks, undies, etc. In addition to all these "gifts" they also gave me a Chia Pet.
Nice.
Gag gifts are always fun. However, sending various objects from the bottom of the toy bin doesn't really work for me. Like I said, I have something else in mind for Ethan and Caitlynn will have to just wait and see.
