Worst. Parents. EVER.

[ciircee]

Ed and I are awful.

Scene: Ed, Me, and Chelle-sama sitting on my bed. Ed and I having freshly woken, all warm and snuggled.

Chelle: I'm going to put the kids' presents under the tree.

Me: We've still gotta wrap them.

Ed: Hehhehheh.

Chelle: ?

Me: We bought the kids a bunch of socks and bras and underpants and pjs for Christmas.

Chelle: And...?

Ed: That's all we're going to put under the tree.

Chelle: ...but the wii?

Me: The kids think they know what they're getting. Possibly they've been snooping a bit. Possibly they're just greedy so we're just going to put that stuff under the tree and not bring out the other stuff until they believe that's all there is.

All: *mad laughter*

Chelle: Merry Christmas, kids!

Me: You know, we should open presents on Christmas Eve...

Ed: ...and not put the other stuff out until morning.

All: *dying* *tears*

Me: They would cry themselves to sleep!

Chelle: Oh, god, there is a special place in HELL for that kind of thing.

Me: *as Satan* Only socks and underpants for you!
*as self* Joke is on you! I'm an adult! I like those things!

Chelle: Tears taste like sweet, sweet candy.

Ed: Is this going on the journal?

HELL YES IT IS.

We are an awful, awful family.

(No, we're not going to string them out until Christmas Day. Juuuuuust for a little while.)

We got half of them! The 12 year old and six year old turned on the waterworks. The other two either didn't care as much or figured out something was up.
