Of course, my children being the good sports that they are pretended that they had no idea what the surprise was. But I knew it had to be a big present! The water wasn't draining at all!
By now, I was truly in the spirit of the adventure and just dying to know the surprise. I thought it might be some of the kids favorite leaves, or maybe all the toothpaste from a tube dried and hardened in the drain! I'm so glad they gave me this gift early! If I had to wait until Christmas, I don't think I could sleep at night!
Well, I tried some drano gel to get the Yuletide party started. It came in a wonderful deep red container, a perfect color for Christmas!
At first, I thought I had uncovered my surprise, because the drano gel slowly settled to the bottom of the non-draining sink of water, and then beautiful tentacles of brown mist began to emerge! My children are so artistic.
But after two shows using the gel, the sink was still very slow to drain, and I realized that my loving children had more in store for me! "Can it get any better," I thought?
Now I just couldn't stand the anticipation. Pulling out my toolbox, I started disassembling my sink. I eagerly removed the u-joint under the sink and started sifting through a lot of stuff I couldn't identify, but I was sure wasn't the gift. I was disappointed! Where could it be?!
Then suddenly, I found it! Finally, I saw my gift stuck in the drain itself!
You know, they say it isn't the gifts at Christmas that matter, but I disagree. I think this gift is something the kids have been working on for months! I'm sure I'll never forget it!
