It is like asking chris for a kidney to get him to tell me what he wants for birthday, father’s day or xmas gifts. so when he actually gives me ideas, I tend to get him what he asks for. so he tells me he wants a UNICRON transformer to go with his very large collection. So i go on ebay (I dont have an ebay account, but my mother in law does. so she lets me use hers.) to find what choices i have and I bid on one…I created an account to place this bid. this is the one thing chris really wants, and I am super excited bout seeing his face when he opens it.

when we were on the way to dinner she presented chris with his “bday” present (after she had already gotten him a drill…that was supposed to be his bday gift)…it was UNICRON!!! she said she had seen that it had been looked at on ebay and she thought chris was looking to buy it for himself. so she bought it for him. a few problems with that theory. I had only been looking at it like two days before thanksgiving (thursday being day 3 and the day the auction ended), I’m so mad she totally stole my thunder. that is the only gift he really gives a shit about now. i gave him a bunch of small things rather than one or two large gifts this year and the fact that she waited till after the gifts had all been done and everything, it felt like she was being sneaky.It was supposed to be my gift…she stole it from me. she couldn’t bother to be a part of the birthday dinner i wanted to do and then she steals the one gift he wants more than anything.

chris, of course, feels it was just a misunderstanding. his dear ol’ mum could never be up to no good. i tried to get her to participate when we celebrated the bday and she didnt want to. but i think she wanted to be the one who gave the coolest gift. Then he kept telling me how bad she felt bout the whole thing. the only thing she said to me was asking if i bid on her account then we would buy that one cause she didnt want to get a bad rating. but it was ok if i got a bad rating. what i did was told her i lost the auction, but i made a fake account and outbid myself before the auction was over. at least her rating is safe!

at least he had a good birthday and he got the gift he wanted
