It's just a box! Why is she so amazed by it? I was expecting her to go crazy over the pretty dolls house with opening windows and doors but no all she wants to play with is the brown cardboard box that it came in. With bubble wrap left on the floor, she takes her time turning the box on its side so the flaps of the lid are visible. Crawling inside she closed it up with a small giggle.
"What about your present?" I asked but all I got was a series of mummers as her imagination was set free.
"Well I know what to get her next time" I told my sister who was giggling as she watched her daughter play.
"The biggest box you can find" she answered for me,
"At least I can afford that" I laughed and I spent the day sat with my sister watching my niece play in a box.
