While discussing Christmas present ideas, my sister sent me the following via email:

Oh, I want a $900,000 house please with housekeeper and nanny. Blue Yukon Denali fully loaded. Bank balance of $45,000,000. And a size 7 body with perky boobs!

So I wrote back:

I didn’t get you exactly what you wanted but here’s what I did get…

You can move into the million dollar house January 1 – all the 900k’s were sold out.

The Denali will be in the driveway next to a new Mustang – it was a package deal.

I’m transferring $50,000,000 into your account this week so you can have it in time for Christmas – the bank has a minimum transfer amount.

The size 7 body with the perky boobs option is on back order, as every woman in the world wants one, but I’ll email you when it comes in.

And for the kids’ stockings I got 5 million dollar college funds for each – I figure that could carry them through a Phd with money to spare for books, coffee for late night study sessions, college sweatshirts, a keg party or two, etc.

Here's hoping you and your family get everything YOU want this holiday season!

that was then - this is now
