The only reason mama puts ribbon on packages is so she can CURL IT!!! The best part of wrapping, she says…
I just chew on it.
Now, maybe not everyone knows what that means because it’s a sort of Hollywood thing they say when acting work is over and everyone can breathe again, but around here, it’s this:
Mama walks around muttering “bah, humbug” but I know that down deep she is really having fun doing presents for the little monster anthros (haha, just kidding, they are really well-behaved) and having fun herself just imagining playing with all the stuff!! She is such a kid.
Sometimes I have to say, “Mama, grow up, okay—you’re not supposed to play with their toys BEFORE they’re wrapped!”
But she does.
The only thing is she’s really sad because she can’t do this Make a Monster thingy that she brought home fromTiger. You have to punch out all sorts of things and create your own version of a nice monster and that’s right down her alley, let me tell you.
Meanwhile, I’m still wondering what this green thing is that’s lit up all day long and can you belive it—it is covered with BIRDS!!! You think I’m gonna take the bait on that one? No way, Jose. I am so well-behaved that I just look at them and say, “Ha, ha, I know you’re fake, you feathered funky flyers!” I mean, it’s pretty obvious. Mama says she’s had them for about a gazillion years from when HER mama trimmed their tree, so at a distance they are pretty cute, but up close…a little ratty, so to speak.
These birdies are fake…do they think I don’t KNOW?
Still, they bring sweet memories of her mama, and that’s okay with me.
We all make memories all day long, right? Expecially during holly days…
Looks like your mom is enjoying herself and you’re enjoying watching her. 🙂
I’m just waiting until there is something there that looks like a Loulou present…
