Backstory: My mom is getting plastic surgery in a few days and will be on bed rest for two weeks…she thought she would get some early Christmas shopping done and told us to email her with gift ideas… although after our replies, I’m thinking we won’t be getting anything at all.

Mom: Ok Kiddies,
Since I will be laid up for some time starting tomorrow.  I’ll have plenty of time to do some online shopping.
How about sending me some ideas for Christmas gifts.
Love ya
Mom

Older Brother:
Kind of scared what gifts we’ll get if you’re shopping in a post-surgery, medicated state :D

Me:
who knows? With all that medication maybe this year I’ll finally get that pony I’ve always wanted…

Younger Brother:
I want to get branded with the Dallas Cowboys logo on my stomach.

Mom:
You are all just too hilarious.  Ponys and brandings?  Where do you think you all live?  The Ponderosa?
