It's one of those skills I that I learned in my school
I realize my earlier Matrix/Super Mario 3 post is not so interesting, so this is what I actually prepared for today. While in class, naturally:
My sister cheats at Christmas. If she can find her gift, she’ll unwrap it. Her most memorable cheat was back when we were in jr. high, right around this time of year. She found her stocking stuffers, which my parents kept on the top shelf of their closet, in these little square christmas boxes. Very cute.
It was a great haul. Mom and Dad are fantastic Christmas shoppers: I think that’s the year that Dad got me “booger gum”, this green chiclet-like stuff that comes out the nostrils of a nose-shaped dispenser. I refused to look at my stuff and even plugged my ears and shouted “LA LA LA LA I can’t hear you!” when she tried to tell me.
Ah, but the gods are creative in their punishments. Emilie had planned to see her things and retreat, but her curiosity proved her downfall. She saw her Oasis CD and had to listen. So she unwrapped the cellophane from the CD and played away. She put everything back, but could not re-wrap the CD.
Actually, now that I think about it, she benefited from her curiosity. Our parents were annoyed when they saw the evidence, so they decided to return everything and get her whole new stuff. So the surprise would still be there. But since they couldn’t return the CD she got two instead.
Today's homework question: do you cheat at Christmas? Do I? Tune in tomorrow to find out!
