More from the Wimpy Kid

OKay just one more. :)

Thursday

Tonight me and Mom went out to get a gift for the Giving Tree at church. The giving tree is basically a Secret Santa kind of thing where you get a gift for someone who is needy.

Mom picked out a red wool sweater for our Giving Tree guy.

I tried to talk Mom into getting something a lot cooler, like a TV or a slushie machine or something like that.

Because imagine if all you got on Christmas was a wool sweater.

I'm sure our giving tree guy will throw his sweater in the trash, along with the ten cans of yams we sent his way durning the Thanksgiving Food Drive.


(okay so he writes a bit more then he goes to Christmas day. He's feeling sorry for himself when his mom brings him a big box with his name on it)

The box was way too big for Twisted Wizard, but Mom pulled the same "big box" trick on me last year when she got me a memory card for my video game system.

So I ripped open the package and pulled out my present. ONly this wasn't Twisted Wizard, either. It was a giant red wool sweater.

At first I thought Mom was playing some kind of practical joke on me, because this sweater was teh same kind we bought for out giving tree guy.

But mom seemed pretty confused too. She said she DID buy me a video game, and that she had no idea what the sweater was doing in my box.

And then I figured it out. I told Mom there must have been some kind of mix up, and I got the giving tree guy's gift, and he got mine.

Mom said she used the same kind of wrapping paper for both of our gifts, so she must've written the wrong names on the tags.

But then Mom said that this was really a good thing, because the Giving Tree guy was probably really happy he got such a great gift.

I had to explain that you need a game system and a TV to play Twisted Wizard, so the game was totally useless to him.

Even though my Christmas was not going that great, I'm sure it was going a whole lot worse for the giving tree guy.
