How to Make Your Mommy Proud
A couple of nights ago, Mommy and Daddy were sitting on the couch, and I was playing with my cars and stuff, and suddenly I looked up at the bookshelf and pointed and said “Santa Claus!”. Mommy and Daddy were pretty confused, as there was no Santa Claus that they could see anywhere on the shelf (by June, even THEY get their Xmas decorations down!). So I said again, “Santa Claus!”, and then, because the poor old dears didn’t seem to be getting it, I added for clarification, “Santa Claus says Ho Ho!”. They kept staring at me and saying, “Buddy, where do you see Santa Claus?”. Suddenly - Mommy got it, and jumped up and grabbed a book off the shelf and showed it to me and said, “Decker, can you show me Santa Claus?”. Turns out the book cover I’d been looking at is for a book about Harry Potter (who I was able to identify for Mommy no problem, a fact which tickled her quite a bit!), and the Santa Claus guy is actually named Dumbledore. (Well, they both have white beards, c’mon!). So then Mommy proceeded to pull down all the other five books that were next to that one, and I was able to show her Harry Potter on each one, easy as pie! (Hey, I’m my mother’s son - of COURSE I know Harry Potter!). Mommy and Daddy were quite keen on this new trick (I do love to keep them on their toes!), and Mommy kept saying how proud she was! I showed off my trick the next night for Pammy, and she was just as excited! Hey, I aim to please!
Now one question - who brings the toys at Xmas? Santa Claus or Dumbledore? It’s kinda confusing!
