Last week Thomas and I went to his work Christmas party. During the party they had a gift exchange where people could steal presents...you know...the one that everyone does at all parties. Before the gift exchange even started Thomas' co-worker said that she brought a lava lamp because everyone should have one when marijuana becomes legal. Thomas said that he was going to get it. I didn't know if he was joking or not, but I really hoped that he wasn't! I've wanted a lava lamp ever since the one I had died when I was a teenager! I was STOKED to get a lava lamp and didn't think that anyone would steal it from us.
Someone opened it and was very disappointed. She was super happy when Thomas stole it from her. Shortly after that another person opened a present and it was another lava lamp! The woman who opened it had a young daughter that didn't seem too interested in the lamp.
When there were only a few people left and I thought I was home free, SOMEONE STOLE THE LAMP FROM US! Rude! Thomas then went and stole the other lamp from the girl (who didn't look that interested in it). Apparently she liked it WAY more than she showed because she started crying. It was so sad! A woman came up to Thomas and shook her finger in his face and said, "Shame, Shame, Shame. Shame on you. Shame, shame, shame!"
The little girl opened another present but she was still crying, so Thomas gave her back the lamp, which led to the guy giving us back our lamp. The little girl gave Thomas a huge hug and said, "Thanks. Thanks for giving me back the avalanche."
I feel slightly guilty, but not guilty enough to not LOVE having it!
