Dear Diary

My daughter has been totally in love with the movie Wall E after watching only half of it on cable.  So, I bought her the $20 movie (I don't even buy $20 movies for myself).  After watching it everyday, she says "I want Wall E".  OK.  So, Christmas is coming and all she has been saying is "I want a robot, Santa will bring me a robot" for weeks now.  I looked up Wall E robots online and they are only on Amazon or Ebay, expensive, and hard to get a week before Christmas.  I finally find a $100 Wall E on Ebay.  I order it.  Luckily, her Grandma and Grandpa agreed to pay for half!  I am so excited, thinking I am the best parent ever and she will have the best present ever delivered to my door on Monday!  So tonight we go to visit Santa.  She says "I want a robot".  We get home and I say something about Santa bringing her a Wall E robot.  She says "No, not Wall E, a robot".  WHAT?!  After a long inquisition, " a robot" means Eve, the female robot on Wall E...not Wall E :(  I RUN into my house and grab my laptop.  I first email the Ebay seller, telling him how sorry I am that I will be needing to return the $100 robot that I ordered.  Then, to Amazon to find an Eve robot, that will be delivered before Christmas.  Luckily I found one, but put it on the wrong account and with the wrong shipping.  It was going to arrive after Christmas :(  I had to cancel my order, then re order the Eve robot again.  OMGosh!!!  Santa has got nothin on me!
