Yep, they're sneaky and meany! I meant as in nicest way... Let me tell you a story first then you know why.
Let's go back to AZ, where we had one month staying and one month of rental apartment. It is about 4 hours drive to Sonda know as the 1st place for vacation here in America. What a beatiful and expensive place to stay! On a long road trip turn out to be abt 6 to 7 hours cuz of traffic. We plan to stay two nights there on our Thanksgivng vacantion.
On the road, we stop a few gas stations for restroom or something to eat or both. One gas station, we stop at. I spotted a mini truck. There were blankets and large towels with different pictures on it. My first thought... Winged Unicorn or flying unicorn or Alicorn, whatchmacallit, I don't care. It not unicorn and not flying horse and put together it is flying unicorn (exuase me for being draging on). Now, I went around and searching and hoping. Lo and behold, I saw a blanket of alicorn. I wanna it and must have it. I couldn't afford it. I was soo disappointed. My parent said they couldn't. Truth is I was desevanted(sp) and heartbroke. I was in disappointed. I would do anything to have it.
After trip is over, on way back, we stop at same gas station. I knew it was still there cuz I saw that alicorn blanket, again but in different place and u can see it. I was soo tempting to take a picture but I think it wld be wise not to. I still couldn't afford.
Oohh how much I want it. Nothing I could do. We arrive back to rental aprtment and in few days, we left and got home.
Several days later, my mind was no longer on that alicorn blanket. As xmas getting closer and closer. We wrap a few xmas presents. I spotted one slight big box that already wrapping of xmas wrapping paper and ribbons. At first, I thought maybe some kind of blanket but alicorn didn't across my mind. Mom lied, "oh I buoght it last summer." I replied, "you mean while I was gone couple days to Atlanta?" Mom thought abt it few second as she seems in serious thought then she nodded, "yeah."
Well, I dunno what it is. Our tradition to open all xmas presents on xmas eve but one will open on xmas morning. Well, I have two gifts and I decided to open that slightly big. So I did. I was shocked! It turn out alicorn blanket! I did had my tears in my eyes. I wasn't expecting that at all.
Mom told me that she said to dad that wld be perfect for xmas presant on a way to Sonda. When we came back to same gas station, dad went inside the gas station first and got cash from atm machine. Mom and I waited as I took care of Reese(my dog). Dad came out then mom and I went inside to use restroom and get something from subway sandwiches. Mom looked over the window while I busy gathering the bags of sandwiches. Mom notice that dad is still busy of trying to hide blanket in the back of the tuck so mom went ahead and bought more bottle drinks and candies. I just follow mom around and never notice. Geez! All those signs are noticable.
I mean, after we came in the mini-van, dad went back to gas station for restroom. And I thought he already went earlier. Plus, when we arrive at apartment, dad manage to shoot me to the apartment before he open the truck. He manage to hide in black bag.
Mom manage to put on top of the shelf in cloest. Funny thing, I did notice something different on top of shelf but I just ingore and minding my own buisness.
My parents manage to hide it on a way back home. I was clueless the whole time. Haha, like I said, sneaky parent!
Right now, alicorn blanket wrapped around me as I lay on my bed.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
