a xmas story..kinda
this is a true story from summer of 1986. installing floor in my bath, window open and my 8 yr old son and his 6 yr old neighbor 'frirnd' are sittin on the basement doors below the window. subject of the argument was the existance of santa claus. my son was a strong believer, the kid said "its all a bunch of bull--it." this went on for what seemed liked 20 or 30 minutes with every expletive not allowed here being thrown about .
finall the kid mounts his closing argument: and i quote... "last xmas i didnt go to sleep, i faked it. they thought i was asleep but i saw my mom and dad puttin the presents under the tree. so theres your f---in bull---t santa claus."
i couldnt see them but i knew the gears were turning in my boys head. bout a minute of silence. one of my longest minutes ever. finally my boy pipes up; "your mom and dad have to do your presents!"
wait for it;
"SANTA only goes to GOOD kids houses!"
think i was proud?
