The Gift Not Wanted

 Isabelle came running into the room the other day
and she was incredibly excited.
She was saying "Come quick mom, come quick. 
I have found what I want to get you for Christmas!!!"
Of course I went with her fast enough to see the ad on T.V. for this super great gift.
This is what she wants to get me...
Now clearly we have not watched "A Christmas Story" enough if she believes this to be a good gift!  The only thing these jammies are missing are
little bunny ears and eyes looking up at you.
And just look at how big the model's butt looks in them,
and she's a MODEL.
Can you imagine what a regular sized person's butt
would look like in those?
Isabelle enthusiastically tells me "and mom, the BEST part is you can unzip the feet
and take them off if you get too hot!"
I am still in shock that anyone over the age of 5 would want these.
The ad is targeted to husbands.
I am truely concerned about the homicide rate this Christmas if any men are dumb enough to believe that their wife will want these, and that she will feel beautiful in them.
Husbands are completely dilusional if they believe they'll get a little "something extra"
 on Christmas because of this gift as the commercial implies.
The only place I could see wearing these jammies would be a padded cell,
or that prison in Arizona were all of the underwear is dyed pink.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that Santa won't pull thru on this wish for Isabelle.
I am also very thankful she doesn't know how to order things online...yet.

I do really appreciate the thought though.
She really wanted to get me something special that I would love.
