It seemed somewhat normal at first, quirky and "out there", but not bonkers or anything. And then the hints of violence and abuse came in and wow... I was amazed a lot of those kids ended up as normal as they did. Seemed like a few of the boys got it the worst.mcokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773468063765177661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451669011973191211.post-11317690661040850302008-06-16T07:25:00.000-05:002008-06-16T07:25:00.000-05:00My kids woke me up yesterday with presents of Hawa...My kids woke me up yesterday with presents of Hawaiian shirts. But my oldest told me that they were from Mom, not her, and the she hadn't gotten me anything. I told her not to worry about it, just having her around was present enough for me.<BR/><BR/>A couple of times throughout the day she'd mention something about not having gotten me a present. Each time I told her not to worry about it. But she's six years old. At that age, kids have a hard time with abstract things. All she knew was that it was Father's Day, and she didn't have a present for me.<BR/><BR/>Then she comes up to me, hand behind her back, and says "Happy Father's Day!" and gives me a present she'd made.<BR/><BR/>It was a construction paper heart, all colored real nice, with a red plastic heart glued in the middle of it, and a ribbon tied to the bottom. It said "To Dad" on the top.<BR/><BR/>Best present I've ever gotten.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
