SURPRISE!!!!!!!!

Ever since seeing it at the store around Christmas, Taye has been talking about wanting a black Spiderman toy. When asked what he wanted for his birthday, he consistently told us that was what he wanted, and even made lists that said "black Spiderman toy." Darius wanted to get it for him, so the other day we all took a trip to Target, and Darius and I snuck off to the toy aisle. We got the toy, hid it in the car, and talked a lot about it being a surprise.

The next morning when they got up, Taye told me, "Mama, in the middle of the night, Darius told me he got me the black Spiderman toy, but I think he was wrong."

Darius jumped up from his seat and defended his honor, "No, Taye, I'm not wrong! I did get you the black Spiderman toy, it's still in the car! And I got red wrapping paper, but I didn't wrap it yet."

Surprise!

Taye told us he needed to see it, just to know if Darius was right or not. The surprise was ruined anyway, so I told Darius he could give it to Taye. I figured he would open it right away, but instead he asked for a box so that when it was wrapped it would look like a box. When I left for my appointment, he and Darius were busy wrapping it together.
