So we get these 7or8 packages the other day from my step-mother. Therein lies the mystery of our christmas to be from her. Mind you, one of said packages is strictly for my three animals. That leaves 7 or so for the 4 of us humans. Wrapped in brown paper, bound with strapping tapping and all tagged FRAGILE!!!!! (must be italian)
Fast forward 3 days later and my young son, 13 years old and completely anaware of his phlanges ineptitude, decides to show off the heaviness of one of his gifts to his young(and equally inept) friend. The golden wrapped, plainly marked "FRAGILE", glints back the overhead lights as it makes not one, not two but three turns in the air.
Then there arose such a clatter I arose to see what was the matter! And what did my wondering eyes behold? But my pajama clad son and his sleep-over friend looking bewildered at the commotion they had caused.
Running up the stairs with my robe all a flutter I speed dialed my step-mother with every curse I could mutter.
What's in the box, the box marked and stamped? FRAGILE it says but is that for real? I mean, what could it hold for a boy of thirteen?
She chuckled and told me that if it was broken you'd know.
She laughed again and said she'd gotten the boy what he'd asked for - a blue Lava Lamp wrapped up with a bow.
So here it is, 4 days later and I still find myself touching the seams and smelling the thing.
C'mon you 8 mangy reindeer! C'mon you wiley old elf! Let's get on with the show before I get lava on my shelf!

sorry i didn't get back to you on this. i wouldn't know why you wouldn't still be alive. aren't you supposed to assume that someone has died, or at least, may be dead when you haven't heard from them in a while? i was under the impression that it was the popular thing to do.

Either rhyme all the time or don't. Going back and forth makes jesus cry tears of sadness.
