So here is my most memorable Christmas. On mobile so I'm sorry if things don't make sense >.>
So this was back in 2000. I was 8 and for Christmas that year, I got my last present (as far as I remember, that was one of the last real gifts I got for Christmas from my parents). They got me a Nintendo 64 console that was bundles with Donkey Kong and came in Jungle Green. I remember being at the store and telling my dad I wanted one for Christmas but didn't think he was actually going to get it because he would say it's "too much money" and "we'll see".
I was SOOOO happy! I was in the middle of opening up the box and I asked my dad
"How much did this cost?
" Then my dad said "A lot".
I run to my room and bring in my piggy bank and I smash that sucker in the living room and counted my money and asked my dad again "how much?" And he went, found the receipt and showed me a price.
I believe it was around $164 or something like that.
So I saw whatever the price was, counted the exact amount to the cent, and collected it all. I gave it to my dad and I said "this much?". He said "yes, this much. He then told me "let me take this and I'll keep it safe for you.
I had yet to take my N64 from the box so I handed him the money and went to play with my N64.
I never did get that money back.
I'm pretty sure he tried to pull that again when I got my Game Boy Advance for my birthday years later.
My girlfriend thinks that's so sad, but I find it hilarious
