When you were a kid, did you do the child version of ”Keeping up with the Jones”?
When you were a kid and Christmas vacation ended, you were back in school, did you ever embellish on the amount, or value of gifts you received for Christmas. I remember the subject would come up, and seem everyone claimed to have gotten the toy of the hour, or they got an insane amount of them. I doubt it was a complete lie, but I knew about what each of their families earned, so some of the gifts seemed over the top (though their parents could have saved to get it). I usually avoided “What did you get?” talk, as I usually did not get much. I do remember one year I got trapped in that line of questioning, and embellished what I received. How many times, if any, do you recall doing that after Christmas as a child?
