The Perfect Gift!

I scoured the town for the perfect gift for my daughter. I spent two evenings doing just that. Exhausted, I thought it would be a good thing to ask her what she wanted. Here's a list of what she wanted for Christmas:

I would like to be a newspaper, so that you could take the time each day to ask me for some news;

I would like to be a walkman so that you may listen to me sometimes, without distraction.

Having only my words in your eyes, singing the echoes of my solitude....

I would like to be a television, so that I would never fall asleep at night without being looked at, at least with interest...

I would like to be one of your favorite pews in church, so that I could feel your desire to give me all the room which I need...

I would like to be Felix, our kitten, so that I could cuddle in your arms each time you come home...

I would like to be a hockey team for you dad, so that I could see you get all excited after each of my victories;

I would like to be a Harlequin Romance for you mom, so that you read my emotions;

Come to think of it, I would like to be only one thing: the greatest gift for both of you.

Do not buy me anything, just let me feel that I am your child.
