It’s 4 days after Christmas, and we’re still ploughing our way through the backlog of pressies. There’s piles of them collecting in the corners of the house, one of them still unopened in its box. All bunny stuff of course. He’s a spoiled little bunny. I’m thinking of hiding a stack of them for his first birthday next March. He won’t know the difference, and I can save a bob or two. Besides, some of these pressies are too grown up for him.
The bath toys are out of control. We won’t be able to fit any water in the tub with all these plastic floating, squirting, animal shapes and things. We’ll have to get a bigger tub. Luckily we’ve got all these wooden building blocks that came in his super size stocking, so we can build a new house and a new tub to put all these pressie in.
The Radio Flyer cart that Auntie got him is a big hit. Well done, top present that (except for the self-assembly part, which was a big pain in the backside).
Here’s something we looked at, fell in love with, and didn’t get.
It was $800. I asked the sales assistant “how much for the lion?” and when she told me, I was stunned into silence for a whole minute. Once I got my voice back, I squeaked “do you actually sell any of those?” And sure enough, she looked sharply at me, as if I had suddenly crawled out of a dumpster, and snapped: “Yes. Plenty.”
Celebrities must be buying that shit. That and super-rich Mill Valley Moms, with more money than sense.
I got a Video Recorder for Xmas (along with the F.O.B. diamonds) which I’ve taken a bunch of footage on, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to edit the clips, nor how to upload movie snippets of the bunny in action. But hey, just think, I could sell those diamonds and get maybe 3 or 4 of those lions for the nursery. Now that would be worth filming. If only I could figure this camera out…
