Well..... yesterday was Christmas. My kids got all kinds of stuff. Brand new bikes, books, clothes, video games, etc.
AND my 11 year old son got the One Thing that he really wanted (and the one thing I really DIDN'T want him to have). Yes, that's right. The coveted, much ballyhooed Red Ryder BB Gun (as in "You'll shoot your eye out, Ralphie!"). Yes, that's the one. I think his father, who BOUGHT this dubious present, was just as thrilled as our son. They spent Christmas afternoon out in the woods in our backyard shooting things... the wheelbarrow, empty bottles, clay discs, etc.
My son was beaming. Ralphie would be so proud.
