Well, you have your answer then, too bad--it was a sweet idea. You still get my vote for being thoughtful on the gift front.

But we were laughing about it a year or two later, and my daughter said she knew it was a lousy Christmas gift. I asked her WHY she would let me buy them! She said she was a kid at the time, it wasn't HER place to keep her parents out of trouble. I'm not sure propagation of the race should be a primary goal anymore.

Now that's funny...the daughter who gives you just enough rope. Of course, when I was that age, my dad just handed me the cash and told me to buy Mom's gift for him. The whole house was just happier that way...
