their next birthday present, or then christmas present , which ever one is closest will work. They usually wont beleive you , but once you bag it up once, the next time you ask and they dont pick it up, just walk by it and say "oh look mommie is going shopping" go get a trash bag, wait a few minutes go back pick it up and put it in a bag and lock it away.
Come out and say your almost done with b-day shopping or what ever and you are going to have LOTS of money for a trip to the day spa just for MOM

hey that's not bad. my mom would do the same thing to us, except with a twist, she would bag up all the stuff we had laying around, put it in garbage bags and actually put it out on trash night. |
