Santa, The Big Meany

Mr. B has not written his letter to Santa yet and tonight he is in a bit of a panic. 

Mr. B:  "Wouldn't it be great if Santa brought me Lego Star Wars III for Christmas."

Me:  "Too bad you can't guarantee it since you didn't write a letter to Santa this year."

Mr. B:  "Well if he doesn't get me what I want I'll just get a receipt and return it."

Me:  "There is no receipt; Santa makes all the gifts he gives out."

Mr. B:  "Then if I don't like it I'll just give it away."

Me:  "Okay.  That's very generous of you."

A minute later. . .

Mr. B:  "Santa is just a big meany making me write to him so I can get what I want."

Me (to myself):  Yes she is.

Mr. B has resolved to writing his letter in the morning but this is how he felt about it tonight:

love this. S has written 3 letters to Santa, with different requests, b/c Mom keeps forgetting to mail it. We'll see what Santa decides to bring.

Goodness. Is writing a letter that torturous for Mr. B????
