Writing Prompt - What is deceit?

Deceit is when, on Christmas day, your mom puts the only thing you've asked for all year, the only thing you want - a Nintendo 64 - inside the original box of the last gift you could ever possibly want, the thing you've asked them specifically not to get - a Barbie party bus. The deceit brings a frown to your face, then a pout, completely forgetting all of your manners and all that its-the-thought-that-counts garbage.

You wanted to be kicking butt on Mario Kart, but instead your staring at a picture of a handful of plastic people lounging in their plastic hot tub, sipping from plastic drinks while imaginary power pop rhythms stream out of the plastic stereo system. Worst of all - it's covered in pink. Somehow you find it in yourself to open the box, your parents laughing hysterically at the painfull cringe on your face. But all is well once again when you find those two wonderfully stereotypical Italian plumbers smiling back at you.

Deceit is a horrible thing.
