And Then The Threats Fail
December 23, 2005
Driving home from seeing Santa at the mall this morning my two year old daughter was throwing a screaming tantrum in the van… she wanted to shop more, much to the dismay of all the penis bearing people in our family.
I turned around in my seat and said to her, “Santa is watching you.”
She stopped screaming, looked at me, and said, “No he is not. HE NOT AT HOME! HE AT THE STORE!”
Various children piped up with theories about Mrs. Claus watching or satellite monitoring systems, but she would have none of it.

That is one bright cookie.

Please let me know if you find out.
December 23rd, 2005 at 5:46 pmYep! That’s one of the inherent dangers of going to see Santa. Suddenly, they are ‘off the hook’ about all that not shouting, crying, or pouting nonsense and they aren’t afraid to tell you so.
