Dinner without Crayons » Cat birthday gift http://dinnerwithoutcrayons.com Written by moms who want nothing more than dinner in a restaurant where crayons aren't handed out with the menus.

“Oh my gosh, I almost forgot. I have one more present for you Mommy,” she said.

“Another present? But you guys and Daddy already gave me my presents yesterday. I don’t need any more presents.”

“Oh, you DEFINITELY need this one,” she said.

She grabbed her younger sister and ran out of the room and I heard them digging around in their backpacks for a minute. “I know they are in there. They were just in there.”

Finally, they both burst out laughing and yelled, “Close your eyes Mommy. Close your eyes.”

Wary but intrigued I played along. Cat, with an evil grin, put a small package of Kleenex next to my plate.

“Kleenex?” I asked, a little perplexed.

“Yep,” she said bursting into hysterical giggles. “These are for all the crying you will be doing this year about turning 40 soon.”
