perfect day for kangaroos

We give presents in Christmas to show we care about the people to whom we give presents. What if we give a present to someone hoping to secure that person’s recognition of us? We mustn't do that. We cannot give to test our good faith. I question the motivation of gift giving on a day I’ve received a load of presents.

When I was driving west along Finch Avenue, the sky was a light pink. I thought about the wonderful party we had in school today. I thought about how I had to submit my Queen’s University application tonight and prepare the lesson for tomorrow. I thought about the two people I have to call tonight. I thought about how I ought to treat myself to watching the basketball game on TV tonight. I also thought about how it could have been a perfect day. Say, it could have been a perfect day for kangaroos. Then I decided not to think that.
