malicious gifting - Page 2

There is nothing like watching a child open their gift from you. They have this look of absolute mischevious delight, while the parent has the look of horror.

It's perfect.

Was that it Steve? Was that the one that twisted you?

my oldest brother and I had a problem playing together. So one year my parents gave him a bat and gave me a ball.
Sorry Dad, it din't work. He whooped my ass with the bat and took the ball.

Ok - here's where I am at so far:

Sister's little hyper kid #1 - we got her tap shoes and a leotard. mmmhmmm... they don't have a scrap of carpet in their house - it's all hardwood or tile. Yesssss.
Sister's little hyper kid #2 - we got him an electronic keyboard. This kid is weirdly compulsive so I am sure he will play the same 3 keys over & over. Yesssss.
We are still working on kid #3, but rest assured, all packages will include either a kazoo or a harmonica tucked into the bow on top.

seakdivers, you are very, very evil. I love you.

I say a drum set !!!!

seakdivers · 12-06-2005, 11:53 PM

Zippy - I would do the drum set, but we have a $30 limit for the kids (not including shipping charges), and most really cool/ irritating items are out of that range.

Drat.

And xoBruce - I love you too.

One year, my father-in-law, gave my kids an electric organ when he first arrived for a holiday visit. I'm sure he meant well. (He's not the type who would give a malicious gift.)

This thing was so cheap it sounded horrible. Reminded me of a musical card. High pitched and out of tune. I made sure to get the kids set up and playing it while the father-in-law was there trying to have a nice visit with us. It made a horrible racket. He made a few comments about how he had no idea how obnoxious the present was. The last two visits, he's given the kids quiet toys. He had always given them noise makers up until that point.

I really want to give someone a Billy Bigmouth Bass or the Singing Deerhead, but I don't like anyone enough to spend that much on them.
