“Is your house on fire, Clark?” – Aunt Bethany (Christmas Vacation)
Christmas time is about getting together with your family or your loved ones and hopefully for you those two groups overlap somewhat. We will have a full house this year with people ranging from nearly 2 years old (that’s me) to Great Grandma Sophie who is 93.
On Saturday I went with my friend Ella to see Santa Claus to let him know what he can bring me for Christmas. I thought Mommy and Daddy would simply hand the fat man my list and then we would be on our way to get some ice cream. Well, the joke was apparently on me because once we got to the front of the line they took me over to sit on his lap. There are things I am agreeable to considering and there are things I am not….and this fell into the category of things I would not do. No way, no how – I kicked and screamed and clutched Daddy with a death grip as I sobbed uncontrollably. The only time I even wanted to say a word to him was as we were leaving. I was more than happy to yell “Bye-Bye” so long as Daddy’s momentum continued away from Mr. Claus.
On Sunday we did a little remodeling to my room. I hated my crib and now I hate my toddler bed so this weekend we moved to Plan C, a full-sized bed. I love it so far but we shall see how this works. Daddy says that Plan D is a few teaspoons of Nyquil and Plan E is chloroform.
