I bought millions of Nerf guns for the many children in my life. My mother and grandmothers got these neat little plaque things with fitting little sayings on them. I also got millions of candles for lots of people. My sister got a bottle of Jim Beam.
I got DaniGirl's three daughters a few toys and stuffed their stockings and stuff. I also got her oldest a thing of half used Scotch tape...
She walked in while we were wrapping her sisters' presents. the conversation went something like this:
Her: "Whose baby doll is that? Is that my baby doll? Is that what you got me for Christmas?"
Me: "Nope. I got you one present. Want to see it?"
Her: "Yeah."
I showed her the tape I was using to wrap the presents.
"....I'm not old enough to use that, though." was all she said.
After she left the room I wrapped the tape up and gave it to her with her other toys and stuff. The ironic part is the tape is the thing she ended up having the most fun with. She taped all kinds of shit up.
