One Christmas when I was in my teen years, my mom asked if I'd go to the store with her to pick out a radio for one of my sisters for Christmas. Of course, I said yes, but.... I really WANTED a radio for Christmas myself so I was a little hurt. We went to the K-Mart in town (then they were still around) and I picked out the radio liked. Strategy was this sister and I shared a bedroom so I'd get to listen to it also! Christmas morning came and when I opened one of my gifts there was the RADIO I had picked out. My mom smiled at me and said "I wanted to get the one you really wanted that's why I asked you to go with me to pick it out". Boy was I smiling then!
