I wrapped my gift so well, it looked so nice! my son's girlfriend opened the present, and a used cleenex right on top! oh my!, we both got a kick out of it, but so embarrising. with me having a cold and all, I just didn't see the kleenex go in the present!
oh and by the way the "other present" she really did like. :oops:

I busted out laughing - my son was shocked and amused , and I think DH may have embarrassed himself just a tiny bit when he realized our 13 y/o got the joke. The outcome was great though because it sure did lighten the mood and we spent the rest of the afternoon joking around, having a great time! Merry Christmas!!

The story about the doll reminded me of a Christmas long ago when my sister and I were young. I got an 18 inch doll to sew for and she got a Dydee doll, as they were called then. She had such fun giving the doll a bottle of water and changing the diaper, then our father put a little mustard in the diaper and when she changed it, she started to cry and howled, she's not supposed to do that.

My 3year old son has just worn himself out over the past week. After Christmas dinner, I served cheesecake for dessert. He started throwing a fit and saying it was yucky and he didn't like it. I've been trying to teach him to be polite and just take a bite of everything served him, then he doesn't have to finish it. He wouldn't do it so finally I put a bite in his mouth at which point (of course) he says "oh, it's great, I love it". To which I responded,
"Oh no, you don't like it so you don't need any more, that one bite was all you needed." He was quite happy to eat his cheesecake after that ;)

Great stories! Kids as so funny! My youngest granddaughter (age 4) was a little upset with her Mom the other day. She stands nose to nose with her and puts her little hands on each side of her Moms face and with more than a little attitude; says to her " You go to your room and think about what you won't let me do!"

Cute stories! Our 2 dogs have their stockings and we usually get a rope chewie and rawhide chewies and they get so excited when the stockings come down and they get their chewies. They love to play with the wrapping paper. :-)

My son, son-in-law and daughter came home arguing about something, anyway when they walked in the kitchen sink backed up, had to get a plumber, and the dog killed a rat or mouse outside took the head off and dropped it in my husband's hands. I turned to him and he said as he was dropping the headless animal in the garbage,"Not sure if this is a Currier and Ives moment."

On Christmas morning, I went to put cat food in the cat's bowl and found that our oldest cat, Mozart, (3rd cat on the right on avatar) decided to leave a present for his siblings.
