For some reason this reminded me of our dog when I was a teenager. We put Christmas presents for him under the tree and he wouldn't touch them until we gave them to him on Christmas day. Only then, he would shred the box to bits getting to his present.

This is from one of those humor items on CNN today -- it's got funny test answers from little kids, and some are pretty good. It's not too obnoxious to go through, since you can just scroll down through them instead of having to keep going to the next page. This one is especially cute, IMO:
