Gifts

Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn't misuse it.

~ Pope John Paul II

Above is one of the presents Maddie gave to Elizabeth for Christmas this year. I think it's awesome because it's much more like a gift E would have given Maddie. While she was repulsed initially, eventually Elizabeth discovered that the lollipop tasted like green apple. I don't think she's gotten through to the center, yet.

When we were discussing the holidays, I told Elizabeth she wasn't getting any gifts this year. I told her we would still wrap some packages for her, though.

Me: Would you like your nothing in a bag or a box?

Elizabeth: (not missing a beat) Box -- with a little bow on top.
