after many years of suffering
i've learned to ask my family what they want, as well as telling them what i want. this avoids such "comedy" gifts as a head polishing kit for dad, an apron with a cock on it for mum and an inflatable bra for my titless sister.

NOTHING will make up for mum and dad buying me - in all seriousness - a retractable washing line for christmas 5 years ago.
seriously, wtf?

I'm not surprised...
A certain girl who shall remain nameless *sniff* was once approached by a boy when she was the shy and tender age of 14 who asked her if she'd wear shoes if she didn't have any feet. 'Uh, no,' came the reply. "So why do you wear a bra, then?" he said and ran off back to his mates.

Wasn't nice.

no, but it made me giggle!
until she was 15, quite a few of the local lads thought my sister was a boy. short hair, never wears skirts or dresses, not the least bit girly.
then again, she was the first of us to have a kid and now has 3, so she's definitely more mumsy than me!
