During our Sunriver trip this past summer, Meredith was pregnant and not feeling too well. She was especially sensitive to food smells. One smell that almost made her puke was hot dogs. Each time someone would cook one up in the microwave, Meredith would get nauseous.
So, as we were coming home from church in Bend, Oregon, Meredith asked me to hurry and get rid of the hot dogs before everyone else came home. So, being the good husband that I am, I ran into the kitchen, grabbed the hot dogs and ran out back and threw them in the trash. Everyone else was arriving as I was coming back into the house.
It was lunch time and the first thing Emma did was go to the fridge and look for the hot dogs. She looked everywhere. She then started asking everyone where they were. Then the suggestion was made that maybe the hot dogs were all eaten, but Wes and Emma begged to differ. Anyway, Meredith and I kept our little secret, a secret.
Months later, Meredith finally confessed to Emma and the family. Since that time Emma has given us a hard time. So, we decided that we would give her a Costco-sized package of hot dogs and buns for Christmas. However, I wrapped the hot dogs in my iPad box just to throw her off. (She likes to ask for gifts that tend to cost lots of money!)
So, on Christmas Eve, we presented Emma with our gift. As she was opening it, Cate noticed that it was an iPad box and Cate was freaking out. I think the thought of Emma getting one was a little too much. Emma says that she never even thought it was an iPad. I think there was at least a thought.
What is it?
Could it be an iPad?
No, just some hot dogs!
Needless to say, Emma had a hot dog for breakfast on Christmas morning.
Thanks for being such a good sport Emma!
