It was my twelfth birthday. Thanks to my over-active imagination, I had convinced myself that my mom was going to get me a new skateboard. I could not contain my excitement. I really needed a new skateboard, and not because I was bored with my old one. My old skateboard was falling apart. Upon waking up, I ran straight to my mom and asked her to give me my gift. She responded by telling me that I would have to wait until after I got home from school. She went on to say that if she told me what the gift was I would not be able to concentrate on my school work. Those words ensured that I would be so excited about getting my new skateboard that I would be unable to work.
After a whole day of counting down the minutes, I arrived home from school. My mom was nowhere to be found. I called her office but did not get an answer. She did not answer her cell phone either.
Just as my frustration was peaking, my mom pulled into the driveway. She stepped out of the car, asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
I excitedly blurted out, "You said I would get my present after school, and it is officially "after school.'"
"Oh, is that all? I assumed that you missed your dear mother," she teased. I later regretted my response. "No, that's not all! It's everything!" When I asked her where my gift was, she pointed at the J. C. Penney bag she held.
She told me, "It's a new suit for you to wear to church."
I muttered in disbelief, "But you said that if you told me about the gift, I would be thinking about it all day long."
My mom responded, "I didn't say you would be thinking about it because it's a great gift."
