Cute Idea

Have you ever asked your child what they want to buy someone for a gift?

I do this all of the time with Merci, and funny, but she has come up with some of the best ideas!

Some gifts she has suggested for daddy: a motorcycle...a real one wasn't in the budget so we got him a hot wheels one!, screwdrivers, which he had mentioned one day and I had forgot, he was very excited when he opened his new full set of screwdrivers for Christmas, a snow tube, which has been so fun to go sledding with in the winter. I am sure there are more, but I forget.

Yesterday we were in the car and I asked her what we should get her teacher, since today is the last day of school, and she said, Mrs. Means only likes yellow laffy taffy. I was kinda like, well we aren't buying your teacher laffy taffy. We had to return a movie at Blockbuster so I decided to just get her teacher a gift card from there...who doesn't rent movies, right?? And while we were in line we saw a bag of Laffy Taffy on the candy rack, so we had to get it. I took all the yellows out and put them in a cute bag! Is that corny?? I wrote her teacher a note saying Merci just really wanted to giver her, her favorite candy!

So the moral of this post is that if you don't involve your children in picking out people's gifts, you should, they do a great job! They are quite perceptive!
