Holiday Spotlight

December 31st, 2009 by kmitsui

The story I am about to tell you IS TRUE. You probably won’t believe me anyway, but here goes nothing….

So, I have a pretty large extended family, and it’s always tough trying to find presents for everyone without going crazy (at least, it’s tough for me. Maybe you wouldn’t mind!). This year, I thought I was ahead of the game – I know, I’ll give them all Spotlight flashlights. Problem solved! Good for all ages, lots of colors, always useful – perfect!

Unfortunately, I forgot that some of the people in my family are obnoxious teenage boys. You guessed it – one shone the light in the other one’s eyes and WHAM – Christmas fight! There was some punching and wrestling. Oh yeah, it’s on. Then the Spotlight was knocked to the floor and under the couch and tears ensued. It was a very interesting evening, and in the end everyone did like their presents…. maybe a little TOO much!
