Dylin came home from California and gave us some gifts. She had wrapped up grocery store discount cards. We hugged her and told her how cool they were and made her feel proud... but did you think there wasn't a hidden agenda to go along with this!! She said, "well since all of you got to open a present, don't I get to?" Just as she said that, there was a knock at the door. It was the UPS man delivering gifts from relatives in PA. We decided she could open that gift. She was so excited and tore into it.... but as soon as she saw clothes, she yelled, "THIS DOESN'T COUNT!"
For the next hour she continued to beg for another gift and even went to the extreme by laying on the couch moaning. She then held up two fingers and said, "My tummy hurts and there are only two things that will make it feel better... tums & opening a gift!"
Rick proceeded to try and get her off the subject and asked, "Dylin what was it that you wanted for Christmas?"
Dylin replied in her sarcastic little voice, "Um it starts with an I and ends with a PHONE!"
and then completed the conversation with rolling her eyes.
Some how, she gave up!
