I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included.

I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.

I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.

He came up to me and said, ?Can you buy me some toys?? We would have bought every toy store for this kid if they were there.

No, Roger had not seen the funny side. But there had been a moment when, after looking at his watch, he had thought: I can remember when Christmas morning would start at about half past ten with a glass of Buck's Fizz in bed. Now it begins at half past five, with a test of my fine motor skills and ability to read Korean.

Ever since Christmas the kids said they were sick of getting pushed around and the least we can do is go and fight. I can't say enough about our kids' effort. It was unbelievable.
