Write about a time when your parents really surprised you. Did this event or situation seem out of character for your parents? Was this surprise a good one or a bad one? What was your reaction?

One time my mom surprised me was when she was talking to her friend Travis on MSN and she was telling him how she wrapped his Christmas gift and accidentally said "I was going to wrap the kids guns like this." then she remembered that we were in the room with her.

This was really surprising because she has never told us what our gifts were before Christmas. It was kind of bad because my dad was upset he couldn't see our reaction.
