Tonight was my mothers birthday... Now, to fill you in, we have a tradition of stupidity in my family birthday dinners. For example, at my family birthday dinner a couple of weeks ago, I got a simpsons dvd, with a simpsons birthday card, and a simpsons chocolate egg. Then I got another simpsons dvd, with simpsons card, and simpsons chocolate egg. And then I got another simpsons dvd, card, and egg. Tonight, I hijacked the presents during dinner, and wrote "To mum - from Gravy (my little sister) & Will" on every single present. Amusing, yes... but the highlight of the night came from my younger sister Bethany.

She didn't want to give mum her present and card, to the point that she began hiding the present during the meal. After much to do, we stole the present and gave it to mum, and when she opened it, she found a little plastic necklace and plastic bracelet, in a glass lolly jar. Cute, because she made them herself.

But the real highlight was something else that was left inside the glass jar. A little tub of 'blistex'. It wasn't even new, there was a finger divet in the blistex that kinda gave it away the fact that it had already been used... She had stolen it from her older sister, and wrapped it up as a present. Rachael just looked at the blistex saying 'I was looking for that this morning!'... So from now on, every birthday party shall include stolen-already-owned-objects as gifts.

In the words of my brother sam (who thinks Enya is a DJ), "Giving gifts has never been so easy"
