Christmas Shopping with a Kindergartener

Riley and I recently went to the bookstore to get a gift for daddy. Here's how it went...

Riley (grabbing random book from shelf): Here, how about this one?
Me: Daddy doesn't read romance novels.
Riley (30 seconds later with another random book): How about this one?
Me: You can't just grab any old book. When you're buying a gift for someone you want to really think about that person and get them something special. Something they will like.
Riley: (30 seconds later with another random book) I think he'll like this one. Can we go now?

So much for instilling the Christmas spirit into my dear child.

Oh man. Sounds like my girls. Heck, we'd be reading anything with a cartoon on the cover.

Uh. No thank you!

Hilarious. Tillie got her daddy a cheap toy truck that had candy in it. She thought it was funny and just perfect for her dad.
