I had an interesting conversation with my 5 year old yesterday. We were talking about Christmas and gifts, and how it's nice to get a gift that you really want, as opposed to when you were 13 years old, really hoping for a Sun Ice jacket, and instead got a sweatshirt with kittens on it. (The rhinestone eyes were the real piece de resistance - I'll have to go into more detail in another post) I said that maybe he should ask his Daddy what he might like for Christmas, because I don't have a clue, other than beer, socks and underwear, in that order. Isn't that what every man wants? That, and a Victoria's Secret model wearing a bra that's two sizes too small?
5 year old immediately pipes up and says, "oh, I already know what Daddy wants!" So I said, "Oh, really? And what's that?"
"Daddy wants an 'Air Hog Crane and Helicopter'."
I should probably, for those of you who aren't up on your Air Hog merchandise, explain what that is. It is presumably a toy crane and helicopter, which according to the bright, splashy advertising, can "REALLY FLY!" I highly doubt it.
Uh-huh. So, I think he's got the whole "getting a gift you really want" thing down pat. Really. It puts a whole new spin on "it's better to give than to receive". Indeed. I hope the husband likes his Air Hog.
