Books?! For Christmas?!?!

Apparently, mother and son went on a TV show following the success of this video, in an attempt to show that the little brat wasn't really a little brat. The little brat had a tantrum on the show.
 
I got my 9 year old daughter the last 2 books in first "The Warriors" series (cat fantasy fiction). She was thrilled. She's finished them already.

Obviously, a different family culture... ;-)

We're a book family too. My kids are even happy with used books for Christmas. I'm sure my mom would be thrilled to know I've passed on at least one of her life-lessons: Let others pay retail when you can. We all had a laugh over the inscription in one daughter's 'new' cookbook...I shoulda checked for that:innocent:

Oh, and the child who spits, kicks, and otherwise is obnoxious about any gift he or she receives would Christmas officially over right then and there. They'd also get the privilege of boxing up their gifts and helping mom and dad play Santa for some more appreciative child. Don't mess with me; I'm a mean mother:D

* For the record, my kids have had ample opportunity to get ugly about gifts..their grandma is the queen of weird gifting. Sacks full of stuff she collects all year as she volunteers at a Good Neighbor Center, which wouldn't be so bad if she didn't pick stuff like she would like....
 
I gave my two year old niece The Hungry Caterpillar for Christmas and I think I may have won Aunty of the Year award. She was THRILLED.
 
Check out the comments on their profile page. Their defenders and critics are equally annoying. Out of all the inane comments, though, this one really takes the cake:

I have it on good authority that the Hungry Caterpillar is a treatise on homosexuality, and the difficulty in 'coming out'.
 
In watching the video, I don't know if I can laugh it off as an obvious "look at us!" ploy to become internet famous, or whether I should cry that they think hating books would be cute in the first place.

Letting the kid take-off in a flying-saucer shaped balloon would be a better tactic.
