The number of presents

I never put out all the Christmas presents until Christmas Eve. The reason for this little tradition is my children. I can not trust them to not snoop or unwrap so the presents stay hidden. Sad but true. this morning while we were getting ready for school, my son says to me: Mom I noticed that there is only one present under the tree for me, is that all I am getting this year?
Now my kids are the way they are because I am the way I am so in true smarta$$ fashion I say: Yeah that's about right I think all the times you have behaved, listened, and/or obeyed probably adds up to about one present. I am kidding, my son knows this
He: Well ya know baby Jesus got three presents so I should at least get three.
Me: Sorry to tell you son, your no baby Jesus but if you want we could probably round up some gold, frankincense and myrrh.

I really just love my kids personality and sense of humor. It makes life interesting, fun and yes sometimes frustrating but so worth everything.
