The boy was enthralled with all of the presents under the tree. He was really happy with Santa Claus this year. Last year all Santa brought him was bed sheets and pillow cases. This year Santa brought him new hockey equipment. There was gloves, sticks, a jersey, shoulder pads, elbow pads, shin guards, and even hockey socks.
Yes, he thought, this is exactly what I wanted. Now all the other kids won't make fun of my hand-me-down equipment. He was just starting to try everything on, when his mom came downstairs.
"Henry," she called, worried. Oh, no, Henry thought. I promised mom that I wouldn't try anything on until she was here. Last year I had gotten some hockey equipment from my older cousin, and I had tried it on when my mom was out with some friends. When she came back she was very angry with me because I had made a crack in the stick and forgot to put one of the socks away in the bag. The sock ended up being my dog's favourite chew toy, he wouldn't give it up.
"Ummm... Just a minute." He replied.
"Henry, what are you doing down here?" His mom asked, "You promised me that you wouldn't try any of the equipment on until I was here. Remember what happened last year?"
"Yes Mom, I remember, I just couldn't wait! Santa gave me all new equipment! did you see that?
"Yes dear, I saw it all! if you aren't going to listen to me and what I say, Why do I even bother to talk? Maybe Santa wont come to The house next year. I will request for him not to come!
" But you have to ! Santa has to Visit every kid !
