And, once again, I bet I picked the wrong place to post. But, it DOES say things that don't fit anyplace else and I'm doped up on Cold Meds. Which is why I've been reading and not posting.
So, most everyone knows I have two little kids 8 and 5 that also love Buffy. Well, my son likes to watch Angel, but it's the same thing, right?
Anyway, I was sitting here writing up Christmas lists and trying to catalog what I've bought for who. And also sitting in my office were the two boxes my Aunt sent for the kids. And I noticed my daughter was SLIGHTLY on the wrong end of the "lopside" for the gifts bought. So, I was quickly writing up things I could rush out and get for her when I decided to pop open the box my Aunt sent for her.
She had told me what she got for my son, but never uttered a WORD about what she got for my daughter.
And I thought that since I was venturing "off list" for things to get it would be nice to make sure it wasn't something my aunt had already got her.
FAT CHANCE!
And now I know WHY she never told me what she got for her. In fact, she had said I didn't even need to OPEN the box to wrap it if I didn't want to. That I could just put it under the tree if it was "too much work". Yeah, right. NOW I KNOW WHY!
She got her 1.) a little Spike action figure thing and 2.) ONE OF THOSE SPIKE PUPPETS! She didn't tell me because she KNEW I'd try and STEAL IT!
I almost wet my pants! What does a 5 year old need with a collector's item!?!?!
And what is WORSE...or better....she will ADORE him. He will go EVERYWHERE with her, like a security blanket. Instead of sleeping with a teddy bear to keep the monsters away...she'll be SLEEPING WITH A VAMPIRE!
And he'll be on the dirty swingset and thrown around the playroom....the list goes on and on.
It HURTS ME!
On the other hand, my niece is a bit of a girly girl. Which is fine, but she always tries to make my daughter feel "weird" for being more of a rough and tumble kid. And my niece ALWAYS shows up at my parents house at Christmas with a PILE of fancy smancy dollies from her 300 sets of grandparents and rubs them in my daughters face. At least this year, she'll have a doll that can EAT all the Fancy dollies and litter the hallway with their corpses! :vamp2:
Sorry, I'm just SO excited (and a little heartbroken that he's gonna get ruined) and there is NO ONE else to tell that will understand!
