oh, it doesn't even matter if i already have one....this one is so much better than the one i already have!

oh, sure, what the heck.....it's Christmas!

(said under one's breath): what was i thinking when i bought all this stuff?????

it's not much - just something i threw together.

well, it looks great. just great.

well......it's not much.

the trash guys sure are gonna have their work cut out for 'em.

does this thing need batteries? crap!

ohmygosh, this is the coolest thing ever!

are you sure? cuz if you don't like it, that's ok. it's no problem if you don't like it. i have the receipt....you can take it back.

take it back???? are you crazy???? i love it!

well, only if you're sure. but if you decide you'd rather have something else, i totally understand. no worries.

oh, i won't decide i want something else! i want this! i love this! this is soooooo awesome!

isn't there anything else for me? where's mine?

you've already gotten plenty, sweetie! look how much you have! why don't you play with some of your new stuff?

wow, this is crazy. i'm sure glad i don't live here and have to clean up all this stuff!

you always get just the right thing, you know that? just the right thing.  :)

oh, i was hoping i'd get this!!!! i didn't think you'd get it!!!! thank you!!!! thank you!!!!! i love it!!!!

(under your breath to yourself): read the whole card before you look at how much the check is.

(under your breath to yourself):
