When you have children, it is inevitable that they will have friends. And it is inevitable that friends have birthdays and so the birthday parties. Among the pre-school and class dance and all other activities after school, my five year old daughter Camille has several hundred "best friends". So Camille ago a lot of birthday parties and therefore so does his dad. I often find myself carrying out ten minutes before exiting of a party that I completely forgot to get a gift. The gifts are not optional. So last week I was very proud of me when I bought the gift during the week in fact, several days ahead.
So there is no need to insist on this point. I got everything under control, so I thought until five minutes before we had to leave for the party. I never gift wrapped present and had no "acceptable gift wrapping paper at home. Life is all about how the whole market, so I thought a lot about how I would sell Camille in the amazing fact that there would be no wrapping paper. Even se nota? If you do, you her know that Daddy is saving the environment. Why would a dying tree often moody, Amanda broken? Who needs the extra garbage? We save the planet.
As we go to the party with a princess Barbie in hand, Camille scolds me, "Dad, we forget Amanda's gift!". "Camille, I have the gift right here in my hand. "" No, Dad, has a Barbie doll in his hand. He forgot about gift wrap. Please gift wrap. "No Bride Cami, I will not forget. I know how much I love trees and Amanda, and wrapping paper comes from trees. So we're saving a tree by not giving in wrapping paper, and this way of Amanda and everyone else in the party comes to immediately see what has come to her. "Camille was angry. She earned her" you to be the most stupid father in the world face in "and just stared at me. Since, in general, Camille thought to have limited intelligence, often explains things to me in analogies. "Dad, as a gift without gift wrap, is like playing with Barbie dolls Barbie without any clothing. It's boring and not fun. "I replied," Camille, gifts are like people, are never as fun as you want it! "Dad, gifts are like people, do not want to be ugly. My gift want a nice gift paper. "OK I had to change tactics.
"Camille, you know paper gift gift can be very expensive? right, "" Daddy. He says they are cheap. You're cheap. " Dad says I'm cheap? When you say that? Only because I can buy generic laundry detergent. It's the same thing! Because they add a little water to the Minute Maid Fruit Punch? It's so sweet. "
"Gift wrap takes about ten minutes, so ever and it seems that much unless you're a professional gift wrapper. If you think of the thousands of gifts wrapped in life, you spend days if not weeks of his life wrapping, using paper that further crush only as someone who looks forward to what lies beneath. If the wrapping paper is so important, why not just disclose the empty boxes as gifts. Is not it the thought that counts? The world has only superficial? "
Nobody was listening to my rant. Camille had gone to the party with Dad, being French, had a bit of Chinese silk that could be used as wrapping paper hiding under the bed. Amanda was getting a Barbie doll wrapped nice and I think probably get an empty box for Father's Day!
