The sons seem pretty happy this morning. Son2 racked up on the Lego and video game front but son1 could not have imagined what his present from Santa would be this year.
It happened a couple of weeks ago. One of those right place, right time sort of events.
The Bride was doing some last minute shopping at Target, fingering all of the DVD's and PS2 games, trying to come up with some ideas, when she sees a man taking an XBox 360 up to the cash register. We're not so sheltered as to have not been aware of the hoopla over not being able to get these things.
So, she moseys up to the cash register and asks, "You have XBox 360s?"
"Well, we're not advertising them," replied the pimply-faced clerk, "but I have one left. Want it?"
The little Bride began to tremble as she nodded her assent. She later said it was one of those situations where you don't even think about it, you just act. I guess she has spidey sense when it comes to shopping.
So, fast forward to today. Son1, who has been working full time for about six months now, had mentioned that he wanted to buy an XBox 360 with his last paycheck, but "you can't get them."
The expression on his face this morning made it all worthwhile.
