This Christmas was the first year I really had to worry about my son, Malachy, giving away hints and secrets on what I got or made for people. He still managed to tell my sister and his dad what they got. My parents on the otherhand found the trick. Lie to him. We were shopping for his presents and I saw this Smurf stuffed animal that I wanted. I told Malachy to tell his grandparents. A few days later we were watching Smurf videos on youtube. Malachy sits on my lap watching and says "That's the thing you wanted Nanny and Poppa to get you!" I like to be surprised on Christmas, but I still wanted to know if I needed to buy my own. Malachy told me "Nanny and Poppa said you were too old for toys." So I didn't think I was going to get it. I went back to the store, and they were sold out of Poppa Smurf, and Smurfette, so I just got a "regular" Smurf. I was a little upset about not getting the other ones, so when I opened it Christmas I was SURPRISED, and a little happy I didn't buy Poppa Smurf myself.
I acted all mad at Malachy "You lied toMommy!" then my mom said, "no WE lied to HIM."
