Gimme, Gimme, Gimme
Recently a relative had a birthday. I asked her for a list of presents she would like. Like most people, reluctant to 'ask' for something she stalled. And stalled. And stalled. I resorted to manipulation by extortion. I told her that was fine, I'll get you something anyway only I'll make certain it's something you won't like, something that poops. I never told what kind of pooper I was planning for her. I hinted around at a number of poopers. I was prepared to show up at her party with a Beta or Goldfish in a lovely little bowl. Thankfully, I didn't have to do that. I never give pets as a gift (I would have taken it home if need be). Finally, she caved! Yes! I'm the winner! Oh, sorry. It's not polite to gloat.
This encounter with a relative taught me something. I'm really no different. To be honest, if you were to ask me right this minute what I wanted every desire, every hoped for item would leave me head at the speed of light. I decided I should really do something about that. Instead of pretending I don't want anything I will proudly proclaim my wish list to the world. Merry Christmas World! Here is my gift to you!
