What Did I Get This Year?
Again, this is for the parents out there: if your son or daughter’s birthday is coming up, try to do a better job at hiding their presents than you did the OP’s parents. Every year, mom and dad would stuff the OP’s surprise in a closet that the OP had access to.
Were they even trying to hide it? Maybe they just wanted it out of the way and couldn’t care less whether their child knew what it was. Hey, look at the bright side: every year, you knew you got a gift. That’s a lot more than many of us can say we got on our birthdays.
