Saeva, what's the best present you've ever gotten?
Ira, my robot piranha! I've had him for almost 10 years now.
That makes him not just the present I've liked the most, but also the one I've kept the longest!
Most people would probably think that's weird... I mean, most electronic toys you would eventually replace with a newer, better model.
But I was so determined to treat Ira like a real pet, I couldn't possibly replace him! I also take his maintenance very seriously. To me, he basically is alive.
Did you know that piranhas only live for around 10 years? I thought that was interesting.

Effera, what's the worst present you've ever gotten?
Where do I even begin... Out of principle, my parents rarely got me the things I asked for, because they thought I'd turn into a spoiled brat otherwise.
But the worst present would have to be a vintage, limited edition Barbara doll my dad got me.
No- I'm not spoiled and ungrateful. Hear me out!
First of all, I never liked playing with dolls, and my dad knew that. But more importantly, he prohibited me from ever taking it out of its packaging - because he obviously just wanted to sell it for a profit!
That's messed up...
Right?! Well, at least it taught me to always keep my expectations low. I'm pretty much happy with any present nowadays.
