Christmas Gift Confusion Months Later
Through the eyes of a child
My sister texted me a few days ago.
“I’m totally confused!”
She babysits her four-year-old twin grandchildren (one boy and one girl) once a week.
(And from my niece, she has another four-year-old granddaughter. She is one BUSY Gigi!!)
When my nephew dropped the kids off, Finn, the little boy, asked my sister a question.
“I want to see the stepping stone that Aunt Trisha made for you. Where is it?”
She added:
“I had no clue what he was talking about. I asked him if it was outside, and he said no — you usually keep it over here — and then pointed to my kitchen counter. Which made me even more confused, because I NEVER keep stepping stones on the counter. Then he told me that it has pinecones and oranges. Huh?? Now we’re ALL confused. Any ideas about what he’s talking about????”
I was just as confused as she was.
I know that I made some stepping stones YEARS AGO, as in 20–25 years ago. But I think I only made a few for myself. I don’t recall making any to give as gifts.
I replied:
????
I’m confused too!!!
