Reddit reviews Playmaker Toys Flingshot Flying Super Frog Slingshot Stuffed Novelty Toy

When I was a wee bab, I was incredibly annoying, because I could hold a box up and shake it and guess exactly what I was getting. I could guess off a corner of a present. It drove my mother insane.

So she instituted a new rule: if I correctly guessed what a present was, I had to give it back.

This rule went untested until my twenties, though we constantly joked about presents we obviously had figured out, guessing they were completely unrelated items (or some type of frog toy, because that's my absolute favorite animal). One December, as a joking hint, I walked up to my mother, hugged her, and said "Thanks for the laptop, Mom." Now, I thought I was just being cheeky, but my mother looked at me, confused, because she actually had gotten me a surplus laptop from the ones her work was throwing out.

On Christmas morning, I picked up a suspiciously heavy and flat package, unwrapped one corner of the laptop, went through three stages of grief in about half a second, clutched it to my chest and yelled "NOOOOOOO".

Eventually, my parents convinced me I was going to get to keep the laptop, and we continued handing out presents as normal. Three cycles around the room later, my sister picked up a soft and squishy present marked for me and tossed it to me from across the room.

It landed in my lap and started ribbiting.

It took us ten solid minutes to pick ourselves up off the floor long enough for me to open it.
