after watching the jimmy kimmel video on youtube of parents who gave their kids crappy presents & taped their reactions, i was curious to see what claire's would be, so carl wrapped-up 3 boxes of kraft mac & cheese & hid it in the dishwasher. (we stashed her real present -- a digital camcorder -- in a big pot.)
any old ways, when the putch opened her "gift," she didn't pitch a fit or throw a tantrum. didn't cuss us out or spew hateful words. didn't say anything negative, in fact. she just thanked us & even commented on how she thought it was cool that the pasta was winter-themed. then, when we informed her that it wasn't the real present... she drew a sigh of relief, said she was scared there for a moment & plotzed when she found the camcorder.
yay, holidays.
