True Confessions



I know I have shared this with some of you before, but being Christmas it is a fun one to share again.

OK admit it I bet some of you have done this too. Now be honest. As a child waiting to open presents was more then I could stand. Every year packages under the tree was more temptation then a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies.( And I loved them too).So being a typical boy and child I decided that shortly before Christmas I was sick and needed to stay home from school.With the house empty and only myself with all the presents I took action.Careful not to tear any of the wrapping paper I began my task. Of course I knew where MY packages were after I had been checking them out for days.I made my move opening the end of the package to reveal what was inside. MY excitement mounted as I carefully looked at the end of the box. YESSSSSSS!!!!!!! a new race car set, I had been wanting one for a long time. (However I also think my dad was too). Now came the task of tapeing it shut again. I tried to retape with the old tape but no luck, I would need to get more tape to hide my nasty deed. I went to the drawer where I thought I would find the tape. The key word there is thought, because there was non there. So I went to the desk again no luck. I am thinking what am I going to do I've got to get this taped shut again before mom comes home.Trying to think of an option I finally thought maybe glue would work. Thank goodness for good ole Elmer. Elmer's glue use # 1937463. hide evidence of a naughty boy.

I must say,that Christmas opening presents was not as fun and I do not remember ever doing it again.

Now the big question should I tell my parents about this tonight some maybe 40 years later??????I'll keep you posted.
