Micah (5) just reminded me of the following conversation from December 2007 when he was 4 years old:
After coming home from work I noticed an enormous wrapped box
with my name on it sitting next to the Christmas tree. Micah excitedly came to me and said, "Daddy I want to tell you something!" Sensing a spoiler message I quickly interrupted, "Micah don't say anything!"
Micah: "No daddy listen, listen!"
Dad: "Micah don't say anything!"
Micah: "No daddy listen!"
Dad: "Okay, what?
Micah: "Daddy it's NOT a toolbox. It's NOT a toolbox."
