the saga continues

Child thought she wanted a ping pong table, but she really wanted a foosball table.  Mommy, Daddy and Santa found this out AFTER they already purchased a ping pong table...and now, more of the story...

The Mommy and Daddy think about taking the ping pong table back to the store, and looking for a foosball table; but they can't.  Daddy thought it would be a good idea to "hide the evidence" so he took the box to the burn pile, and it went up in flames.  [Burn Pile: noun / a word that describes how you get rid of burnable trash (i.e. paper, boxes) when you live in the middle of nowhere]

There isn't enough room in the house for BOTH a foosball table and a ping pong table, and the Mommy and Daddy don't think it is a good idea to get BOTH things for Christmas in one year.

Oi!  What is a family to do?!

Try selling the pingpong table on craigslist. and then get a foosball table! although I do think foosball costs more.

good luck!

Donate the ping pong table to a shelter, or a teen recreation center, or Salvation Army dorm, or something like that? Let Anya know all about it (after she's received the foosball table, and teach her about the wonderful ways that God sometimes uses to enable His people to supply the needs (or wants) of others.
