Christmas Shopping

I have been trying to get Coleman to tell me what he wants for Christmas.
M: “So what are you going to ask Santa for?
C: “I’m not telling!”
M: “You can tell me!”
C: “Nope, Santa will know.”
M: “Oh no you can tell me!!!” (tickle tickle tickle)
C: “Okay!  Stop!  It’s a B B Gun!”
M: “A bb gun?!  Where did you hear about that?”
C: “From Janson at school!  He knows all about them.”
M: “Ok well keep thinking, I don’t think Santa will bring you a bb gun.”
C: “Yes he will, he can hear me right now!”





(fast forward a couple of days, I am talking to Coleman on the phone)

M: “So what are you going to ask Santa for for Christmas?  You can’t have a gun!”
C: “Well when I’m like one hundred I can get one….but then my thumb will be too big to pull the trigger.”
M: “Okay so think of something else.”
C: “Santa will just pick.” 
M: “No you can think of something.  Some toy you want?”
C: “I want a REAL T-Rex dinosaur.”
M: “You have a big t-rex that Shelby got you.”
C: “No I mean a REAL one!”
M: “Coleman dinosaurs aren’t real anymore, so you can’t have that.”
C: “No, I mean the BONES of a REAL dinosaur!”

Shelby, on the other hand, will not stop asking for a puppy.  They did a book at school about what they want for Christmas. 
Hers said:
Page 1: "I want a puppy."
Page 2: "But my mom said no."
Page 3: "So I want a hamster." 
Page 4: "The End."

(In case anyone forgot, we've been through 2 hamsters at the Peck house already.)

Ok so my Christmas shopping list should include:
- a bb gun for my 4 year old.
- real dinosaur fossils (put together into a whole dinosaur, presumably)
- a puppy and a hamster for Shelby

And there are only 38 days left to shop!!
