Finally! I’m feeling better today. Yay! I’m two days behind in my writing goals (dammit) but at least the evil virus is starting to fade. I hope everyone is having a good weekend - two days until Christmas.
My conversation yesterday with the 15 YO:
Him: Can I open a present?
Me: No.
Him: (holds up a small gift from his grandmother) How about a small one?
Me: No. Good things come in small packages you know.
Him: (points at a large gift) Then how about a big one?
My conversation today with the 15 YO:
Him: Can I open a present tomorrow?
Me: No.
Him: (sticks out bottom lip)
Note the 11 YO has not asked me to open a gift, however, he does consistently tell me how many days until Christmas. 
oh my goodness i know what u r going through. i have a naphews who is 15 n my niece who is 11 n there stay with use the next two weeks off school n he asks me this past weekend “two days till xmas,can i open one small one, im like nope u have to wait til xmas. lol. my niece keeps counting the days. realy cant wait till xmas. us hispanics celebrate 3 kings day so they also get presents on that day. so is not over after xmas yet lol. MERRY CHRISMAS TO U AND YOUR LOVED ONES.

He is so sure he is getting an XBOX and he won’t let it go……..he actually is and I have a sneaky feeling my 20 year old dd spilled the beans! They tend to bribe each other at Christmas…….he will tell her that he knows what she is getting and he will tell her 1 thing if she will tell him 1 thing he is getting! Amazing how manipulative he can be at 14!! LOL
Only 2 more days till Christmas and then I won’t have to hear him talk about the XBOX anymore!!!
