Don't tell her I said that though.

I'm going to have the house as clean as my abilities allow, but I'm also going to tell her that you said that.

Fuck! I forgot to buy wrapping paper. I suck as a single parent. Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah, I wish those $40-$60 a pop video games came in bigger boxes. I told Sandy that was going to put them in big boxes anyway, to make the tree look full and make it more of a surprise when they open them. As it stands, I may as well leave my daughter's gifts unwrapped because she'll know exactly what she has the moment she sees them. I think every parent wants to give their kids as much as possible and it's troublesome to spend all that money and have that tree look empty on Festivus morning. You feel like you've somehow failed as a parent and as a capitalist.
