We got a present!!!

[bookaddict43]

A couple of weeks ago cheshire_monkey wanted to send something overseas. So I gave her our address.....and yesterday a gift arrived. And it's cool and Fireflyish and cute, the child couldn't wait and took them to show-and-tell at school today. A set of goslings to juggle, contained in a Chinese Take-out container. So check out the photos, if I can make them work. The child is the blond, cute one - I am not.

Thanks so much cheshire_monkey we love them.

The child read every word of the description on the box in the car and was even more intrigued!! Specially since I wouldn't let him open it till we got home!

Then we had to have a discussion about Chinese takeout boxes....since we don't have them here. *grins*

We are in the throes of sending something back - so watch your mail!

*is embarrassed* I didn't know you actually got to SEE what I wrote on the description. GODS, I'm so embarrassed. I'd never filled out a customs form and the people were not helpful and I was all nervous and didn't know how revealing I was supposed to be. And for my first thing to ship, it had to be all weird sounding. I couldn't just write "stuffed goslings for juggling" because then it sounds like some taxidermy experiment and that would be bad.

Wow - I'm so intrigued by the Chinese take-out box discussion. That must have been different kind of conversation. Yeah - they already come wrapped in the box and I was trying to be all descriptive so any government official who was reading it would say, "whatever." I didn't think it'd make it across the sea, though. *is still blushing beet red*

Hee! I love mail!

Hee ! Don't be embarassed....it was fun. And the Chinese takeout discussion was him wanting all the facts and was much better than the 'What would you do if a crocodile tried to eat me?' one. *grins*

The following Q & A was about screen names and real names and just to make your face redder than before - all the discussion would have been relayed to the class word for word.

Oh my. That's - frightening.

Well, I look forward to meeting him at Flan. Perhaps he'll be good enough to juggle for us. ;D
