Gift for Baby

My niece had a baby boy in October and we were invited to see everyone at my brother and sister-in-law's house. I had already decided to give them a gift card along with an ornament but decided to ask the kids what we should get the baby. We were all in the car...

Me: "What should we get the baby?"

12 year old: "Clothes or a pacifier."

6 year old "A toy!"

Dad: "Well we are going to Sears, how about a chainsaw?"

Kids together, "Nooooooooo!"

6 year old, "That is too loud and too dangerous for the baby."

Me "I know, a riding lawn mower... after all it is a boy!"

6 year old "Mom, the baby does not know how to drive yet!"

Me "How about a microwave or a dishwasher?"

Nooooooo!

Dad, "An ax! Surely the baby would love an ax"

6 year old, "No, dad, that is a bad idea."

Dad, "Ok, I got it...a lighter to light the fireplace!"

6 year old, "Dad, a lighter is too dangerous and the baby does not know how to 'Stop, Drop, and Roll' yet!"


He is right, he has not rolled over yet, maybe for Christmas!
