My little princess Izzie (3.5 y.o.) had been apprehensive about sitting with Santa, but finally mentioned she was up for a
tête à tête to inform him of her interests in Easy-Bake Ovens and Pillow Pets. I capitalized on the chance. After a half hour in line, as we got closer to the big guy, she started mentioning second thoughts. I was in an evil mood, and handed screaming Izzie to their helper-elf, who assured her that this was not the Bad Santa from the mall across town. She was unpersuaded. I told the elf I had cash and I had my orders, so to the horror of the other children watching we basically water-boarded the child in front of them. Merry Xmas!
are there still ez-bake ovens? i thought real light bulbs were illegal or something....
ReplyDeleteIzzie is a great name by the way.
ReplyDeleteFunny. Great photo too. You should find some Christmas photo contest to submit that to.
ReplyDeleteA few years back when my kids were that age, we hopscotched down Rt 101 in Minnetonka -- in Dr Falkenstein's neck of the woods -- the week before Xmas, stopping at various bigbox stores. At each there was a Santa, and after a while my kids asked me about it. I explained Santa must have a very similar schedule to ours today, also making his way down Rt 101, getting to each store just before we did.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dave, a funny picture with a cute little (3.5 y.o.) girl with a Santa, you should join any Christmas photo contest. By the way, it is really headache to all the parents on how to choose a Christmas present for our little child. Anyway, Merry Xmas & Happy New Year 2011!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo, your daughter is so cute & remember to buy her a great Xmas present this year. Merry Xmas!
