I think children are under the impression that parents are more willing to let them have small pets as opposed to big ones. My son seems to think so. He’s been asking for a pet for four years now. It started with ‘can I have a monkey?’ and has come down to ‘can I have a hamster?’ my daughter is consistent; she wanted a pony three years ago and she still wants a pony now. Our discussion about Christmas gifts revolves around animals year after year.
Most people would say I should get them a pet, especially since they’re asking it for a Christmas gift and their Christmas wish list doesn’t revolve around toys. The thing is both my kids are allergic to fur. They say they’ll wear space suits if they have to, they just want a pet. That’s cute and all, but nothing furry is coming near my kids. This makes getting Christmas gifts for my kids really hard. I mean I know what they want, but I can’t get it for them. On Christmas day when they see all their Christmas holiday gifts and nothing is wagging a tall or squeaking, they’re always a bit disappointed. I try and make up for it by getting them stuffed toys but they don’t like ‘fake’ stuff.
What on earth are my kids made of? I think I have one of those smart kids that people talk about. I mean these kids need seriously unique Christmas gifts to make them happy. The only universal rule they follow is the whole ‘love for food’ thing. My kids like anything unique to eat. I don’t mean they want Chinese or something; they just like a well decorated plate. Which is why they always join me as I dig in to the Christmas gift baskets I receive. They love those things because they are so beautiful. They’re favorites are the Christmas fruit baskets. So basically my kids are non-materialistic health food loving simple kids. I can live with that.
