photovent 2010, day 24: give

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about the toys that I want for Christmas."

"Oh, I wasn't going to give you any toys for Christmas."

"Mom."

"I wasn't!  I figured that I would just give you tons of hugs and kisses."

"Mom."

"What?  I'm serious!  Are you suggesting that there is anything sweeter than my hugs and kisses?"

"Um... no?"

"I should hope not!"

"I mean, yeah! No! Of course not! I...uh... in fact... you know what I was going to ask for for Christmas?"

"What's that?"

"A jar full of your kisses.  That's all I really want."

For that quick thinking, guess who's getting a mason jar full of chocolate kisses for Christmas? And given how strict I am with candy in this house, this particular gift will blow her little mind.

(I might even give her a toy, too.)

Happy Love Thursday, everyone. 

(P.S.  Speaking of giving, did you read about my friend, Jenny?  She's so incredibly awesome.  And that's the truth.)
