What Moms Want for Christmas

"Mom, what do YOU want for Christmas?" Sophie asked me in the kitchen this afternoon after I brought down an armload of wrapped gifts and placed them under the tree.

"I want you guys not to fight.  And keep your room clean." I answered, in total seriousness.  "I used to hate it when I would ask my Mom what she wanted for Christmas and she would say the same thing.  But now I understand, and I want the same thing."

Sophie is not buying it.  "Come on, what do you really want?" she prods.

"No, really, that's what I really want.  Deep down in the bottom of my soul, I want you to keep your room clean and not fight with your siblings as a Christmas present."

Sophie cocks her head and pops her hip, putting her green nail-polished hand there for effect.

"Well, that's never gonna happen!" She spits out with a cocky smile.   "So what do you want from the TOP of your soul?!"
