A little more about Christmas

I realize that with our ski trip so close on the heels of Christmas (we left on the 26th), I failed to mention my Christmas gifts. I think it is always important to share what I got for Christmas. I like to let people know just how much better my gifts were than theirs. I am only kidding. I really don't participate in gift trumping, but I think if I did, I would win this year. Na Na Na.
To prove it, I was given a scratch off lottery card. It's value was $10,000. When I looked at it, I said, "Wow, wouldn't that be cool? We need about $10,000 to complete our adoption."
I got a coin and started scratching.
1st number: $10,000
2nd number:$10,000
not too excited yet, they always tease you like that with 2 matching numbers. I have 6 numbers in total to scratch off.
3rd,4th and 5th numbers: not $10,000
6th number:$10,000.

I look again. $10,000

look one more time $10,000

I WON $10,000!
I WON $10,000!
I WON $10,000!

By this time Scott realized that I am not joking. The kids are trying to get the card and look at it but Scott shoos them away, he doesn't want anything to happen to the ticket.

I WON $10,000!

Then I get this feeling like this can't be real. I look at my in laws, the darling gift givers, and I say, "This isn't real, Is it?"

That's right folks, totally fake.

TOTALLY FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are the sadistic jerks who came up with this idea? It has to be the cruelest thing I have ever experienced.
I played it off really well. Even Scott didn't realize how crushed and foolish I felt. Seriously foolish. Talk about the donkey ears award. That's what I really got. Donkey ears. Hee Haw!
So that is one of the gifts I received.
Care to top it?
