elaine1 Report post Posted December 25, 2006 In one of my more rash buying expeditions i decided to get Tom a magic and mythology book. Its afabulous book with little envelopes full of pheonix feathers etc. He opened it, said, Im not into magic thanks but no thanks and gave it back to me!!!!!!. Good job im used to his bluntness or i would have been upset. Luckily Ellie, his sister piped up with "Ill have it Tom", so present found a home. ahh the joys of christmas!!!

tighna Report post Posted December 25, 2006 Haha - At least you are aware that this sort of thing might happen and do not get offended by it. The amount of times I have had to stop myself from saying something similar... At least I now have an explanation as to why I act in this way...

lynyona Report post Posted December 25, 2006 Kieran was pretty good today considering he had the task of waiting to open his presents until his elder brother arrived he did say that he didnt see why he should wait but after i explained that he is usually here to open presents as a family as it is also his birthday it was only fair that we waited for him lol, dont think kieran said once "what do i want that for" or "i dont want that".He was quite pleased with all his presents i think ,because if he wasnt he d have commented about it, he did just quickly unwrap the undies nanna had bought him and put them on the side we got awy with that one when he realised that it was something he actually needed. .he was even quite content to watch his new thomas the tank dvd on his dads poratable dvd player, while we watched the grinch on tv he was quite happy with his headphones on.Hopefully he will be as well behaved as he was today when nanna and uncle come to our house for the day tomorrow lynn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PW66 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 LOL, isnt it wonderful when they know exactly what they want and dont want! Connor was good today, after each present, he exclaimed " what a lovelt surprise, I am so surprised". LOL, I'm still now sure whether he meant or it was a rare bit of sarcasm coming thru, as a lot of it was stuff he'd actually asked for! Paula Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlp Report post Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) My ds did wonder aloud why Santa had given him so much Magnetix as he 'doesn't like it that much'! The 'fur real' cat (given as we can't have a real pet as him and me are allergic) was very worrying, he didn't want it at all, not even to look at it, and it was donated to Grandma. And Guess Who was a straight forward case of 'I didn't ask for that, that wasn't on my list!' Star Wars chess was liked until my dad tried to explain some of the rules etc when G got cross as he didn't understand. We don't mind - he does make more of an effort with gifts from people (unless it's clothes!) as he understands they have feelings, but obviously Santa's out of earshot! He used to be terrible when younger (trying to return gifts to people) but I thought he'd grown out of it. Edited December 26, 2006 by jlp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loupin Report post Posted December 27, 2006 Our son made us laugh this year he opened all of his pressies then went looking around for more! When asked what he was doing he said "Im looking for that car thing i wanted and the other ps2 game i asked for Santa forgot them!!!" Husband and I have decieded to do the same thing from now on especially when visiting family!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
