This is about a present I bought, not one I received. My son was about 5 or 6 at the time and every time I'd ask him to do something such as pick up the toys or clean his room he would always go "ERRRRR."

He sounded like a dog growling. I told him if he kept it up that, Santa was going to bring him a dog bone for Christmas. Well, Christmas morning came and him and my oldest son came running down the stairs to see what Santa had brought for them.

My oldest son ripped his open in a flash and had a new race track, then my other son o pened his to find a great big dog bone. He was so mad he stomped up stairs crying his eyes out.

I didn't think he would get so upset it was just supposed to be a joke. Poor baby. I finaly got him calmed down and to come back down stairs and we pulled all of his real presents out from hiding, he was once again a happy kid. But from that day on he never growled at me again.
