I remember wanting a new bicycle sooooo bad! One Christmas we had opened all of our gifts and I didn't get the bike. I was so sad!
We normally would eat breakfast after we opened gifts. My mother told me that she wanted me to put a load of clothes in the washing machine before breakfast.
I went into the laundry room and a huge sheet was spread out over the washer. I removed it so I could put a load in and - THERE WAS MY BICYCLE - A BEAUTIFUL BLUE BICYCLE!!!
I jumped up and down clapping my hands.
My mother always had a special poem or a riddle that led you to your gifts or she would use something like the sheet - but she would always come up with something. I wasn't expecting it that day!!!
