WHAT WAS WISHED FOR ONE YEAR

What I wanted for Xmas one young year
A Nike sport duffle bag
It didn't necessarily need to be Nike
But sporty
My grandmother heard about this wish before
she came to visit for the holiday
What she got for me that Xmas was a black "neo-leather" men's business suitcase-handbag
Apparently, I threw a fit, went and pouted in my room out of disappointment.
I didn't wish for a businessman's bag, I was only in the 4th grade and I just wanted a cool sport duffle bag
Word from my folks was that I didn't give anyone the exact description of what I was wishing for.
A few years later my cousins got the soundtrack LP albums to "Saturday Night Fever" and"Grease" for my brother and I for Xmas. We were thrilled as is displayed from the photo my mother had saved, my brother and I with beaming smiles and each holding the albums. Perhaps we (I at least) learn to make our wishes better known then. Nothing worth pouting over that year.
