I was so __. It had been a long-standing (长期存在的) joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could ____ lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one.” was my husband’s response.(反应)
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could ____ this expensive gift.
Of course, the house awoke, and my son was excited with my reaction. Many kisses were ____, and I immediately wanted him to ___ my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not ____ what I was expecting. Then I ____ that he has sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

I thought you’d love to __ this story with me.
Yours,
