Horton

                                  “Don’t give up! I believe in you all! 
                  A person’s a person, no matter how small! 
               And you very small persons will not have to die 
                          if you make yourselves heard! 
                           So come on, now, and TRY!”

              I love Horton. Besides my duck dynasty cup, this was my most favoritest christmas gift this year. And yes, favoritest is a word. Go ask Dr. Seuss...and Horton would totally say it. I saw him at Kohl's one day while mom and I were out shopping. I knew in that instant I had to have him. Unfortunately, I was suffering from negative cash flow that day, So I did everything in my power to get mom to get him for me. Begged and pleaded, beseeched and implored. I like the word beseech, by the way. I just looked it up and the definition is great.."to request earnestly". HA! there was epic amounts of requesting in earnest. Well, all of my earnest requesting was for not. I went home, Horton not in hand. Sigh...I don't know why it didn't occur to me at the time, but my mother has this nasty habit of remembering things you see, getting them when you are unaware and saving them for you for christmas. Behold! Horton! I got him after all! I love my Horton....


                *footnote*
                        I also found a halloween decoration back in early October I had to have. More pleading, more begging and more requesting in earnest....guess what I got for christmas? I have to be the only person I know that gets halloween stuff for christmas....
