He crafted food out of clay to put in the fridge. <BR/><BR/>It was amazing. <BR/><BR/>So while at first I was taken aback not to have received the commercial version that everyone "had" to get, I was thrilled once I realized the true value of what I had been given. <BR/><BR/>I still tear up to think about the effort my dad must have exerted to create that house for me!Kariannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508403905884601778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876497.post-38101289141355454012007-12-06T09:21:00.000-05:002007-12-06T09:21:00.000-05:00It was the Mickey Mouse Train Set.

My mom had me helping bring in bags from the car with specific instructions - DO NOT LOOK IN THE BAGS. What does a 4-5 year old do? LOOK. <BR/><BR/>Mommy, Look it is the Mickey Mouse Train Set! I screammed. That was the last I saw of it. Never again. That was right, my mom took the present back. Actually she said that once she looked at it the toy was something that I would have played with for about a minute before moving on. What I remember is that I looked in the bag and then the gift was returned. <BR/><BR/>Lessoned learned! I never, never look in a bag. You could bring in my gift right in front of me. Just tell me where you hid it and it while be a secure as if you had it in the safe. My husband loves that he does not ahve to sneak any present into the house. <BR/><BR/>For years I was slightly bitter. Now, I that I have two little ones of my own. I am thankful that I learned that lesson and that I did not get the train set.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082755208959947024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876497.post-66526952472836406532007-12-04T16:16:00.000-05:002007-12-04T16:16:00.000-05:00I was on the edge of my seat reading that!
