My hellion has told me repeatedly what he wants for Christmas: a slew of games for the Playstation (which he'd better tell his dad, considering we don't have one) and "only TWO games for the Wii: Captain America and Super Mario Brothers, Mommy." This was after I already bought his Mario Brothers Strikers and a cheap Sonic the Hedgehog game. I told myself I wasn't going to buy him the two games he requested because I already bought him those two games. But....the more I think about his cute little face, the more I want to buy him those "only two" games he requested.
As the second of four children, my parents didn't have a lot. It was a very rare occasion for my siblings and myself to receive a gift from Santa that was on our Christmas Wish List. I'm more than positive that my hellion is going to be my one and only child, and so I want to be able to provide for him the things that my parents couldn't provide for me. Isn't that how most parents feel?
I know the logical answer is no. Or to take the two games I already bought back and exchange them. Or to just tell my hellion, "Better luck next year." But, I mean.....how can I deny this sweet little innocent face?
