done in by an 11 year old
my oldest nephew is a trip. he's extremely smart and has a very dry wit beyond his years. he is one of those people who, when they laugh, laughs with his whole body. truly a joy.
a little history first...since he has my sense of humor he's very fond of pranks. he loves to pull pranks. on the last day of school last spring i went by on my way to work. he was pacing the house shaking a can of ginger ale in order to "prepare for the day." the soda was for his teacher (btw, she got him with a cream pie to the face the same day). last christmas he wrapped my small ornament in a large box inside a larger box and wrapped it with a full roll of duct tape.
fast forward to this christmas...i thought i'd pay him back and wrap his gift in a lot of duct tape. no biggie. he laughed when he saw the package and just set it under the tree. he was playing santa and he gave me my gift from him first. the gift was wrapped in a long, large box. i opened it and it was filled with newspapers that has been crumpled up. i thought it would be another small gift. i began going thru the newspapers one by one, never finding anything. he kept chiming in to be careful and not tear up my gift. so i finally get to the last newspaper and find NOTHING! i look at him and give him a "haha," thinking he gave me nothing. but no, not this kid. he had wrapped an air guitar for me!
how the hell am i going to top this?
