But they picked out a toilet plunger, a rat trap, the gaudiest jewelry you ever saw for grandma, i can't remember them all. No matter what they picked I said it was perfect and just what they wanted. They had to wrap the presents too.

Everyone loved what they picked out.
That is a REALLY great story! That is Story Number One so far.
