Christmas Lasts Until Dawn

(We’re opening some Christmas gifts that just arrived in the mail from our grandmother. I’m 25 and my youngest cousin is only seven.)

Mom: “What did you girls get?”

Me: “Uh… I got this…”

(I hold up ‘Splatoon.’ I don’t consider it a bad game, but I don’t own a Wii U and thus can’t play it, hence my disappointment.)

Mom: “Oh. Well, she tried, so call and thank her anyway, I guess.” *to cousin* “What did you get?”

Cousin: *excitedly* “I got Until Dawn!”

Aunt: “WHAT?!”

(We had to take it from my screaming cousin and called my grandmother. Thankfully she’s aware of video game ratings and age appropriateness. Unfortunately she mixed up our gifts and didn’t realize it because they both had a similar shape, which is how she accidentally gave a seven year old a graphic video game.)
