A Christmas Story: Mean Ol' Grinch
A church member bought my youngest son a Grinch doll for Christmas. He was only three or four years old at the time. He was terrified. He refused to have it in the house.
This is the same kid who was terrified that a leprechaun was going to wreak havoc in his room because that was what had happened at his preschool.
For a few years, the leprechaun trap project was serious business at our house. There would be no leprechauns in our home.
And he was having none of the Grinch. So we donated it to another kid.
