2. Justin came running down the stairs wearing his Ninja Turtle pajamas. He did a karate kick off the last step and shouted "Kiya!" He slipped on the floor and almost fell as he landed, which didn't stop him from continuing to practice his Ninja Turtle strikes on his way to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth with his Ninja Turtle toothbrush and rinsed his mouth out with water from a Ninja Turtle cup. "Muuum, Daaaad! It's time to open my present!" After his parents came downstairs and poured themselves coffee, Justin began to open his present. His fingers were tense with excitement. Then they were still. It was six pairs of plain white socks. Justin checked in the box for something else. There was nothing. He looked at his parents and said, "Oh, socks. Just what I needed. Thank you so much," and then he sighed.
