Just like human children, they perfer to play with the box than the actual present.

@ebolaoutkast Exactly! lmao why you keep the conversation going if I'm such a dumbass? are you that desperate? Myself I like seeing the anger in your messages I find it hilarious for someone to get so worked up over nothing they can control..giggity

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 I got pissed off because I'm surronded by so many freakin dumbasses. But then again I guess it's just, as you say, the role you play in life.

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast nah It's kinda fun getting you all pissed off over some worms

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 Learn reading comprehension and stop wasting my time you dumbass `_`

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast god get a life and shut the fuck up about some fucking worms. who cares if it WAS partly for amusement they did their job it was cute :)

[ebolaoutkast]

@jessicarh87 I'm showing you your lack of reading comprehension because I never said I was against the "the circle of life". My complaint was about the spectacle aspect of this display. The presents are for the amusement factor. Please tell me you understand now -_-

[jessicarh87]

@ebolaoutkast lol no you're getting messages that you want. I was saying that death aka the circle of life is inevitable. The present thing was actually them giving caged wild animals the opportunity to hone in on natural instincts like curiosity and foraging..what should they have put in the boxes for them, Xbox live or a Rolex? Come on get real.
