When X-Boxes Walk Into Rooms

Alexis was busy playing with her toy kitchen when the swingset walked into our yard. She was SO busy, in fact, that it was a good hour before I finally went and got her and made her look out the back door.

"What do you see?" I asked.

She gasped. "There's a swing in my yard!" she squealed.

"Yes, there is." I told her. "Do you want to go play with it?" I asked.

She very nearly tripped on her jaw as she quickly turned to run down the stairs and out the back door.

The look on her face as she realized she had gotten something, something GOOD, was absolutely amazing.

Can you imagine the look on a kid's face if he or she was in the hospital and in walked a whole bunch of Xbox 360s? Wouldn't you love to make that happen?
