With Christmas coming the kids I'm babysitting are getting increasingly excited and anxious about Santa's arrival. Here's what Dylan and Raina had to say about it:
Dylan: (In a very loud, melodramatic voice) Look what Santa gave me! SPIDERMAN and his motorcycle! *pauses to see my reaction and shakes with joy*
Me: Wow! I love Spiderman! When did you see Santa?
Raina: At my cousin's Christmas party. But the reindeer were scared, so they stayed on the roof and Santa came in a car.
Dylan: They weren't scared of me! (Triumphantly) And Santa gave only me a present, Raina didn't get anything!
Raina: (Heatedly and Belligerently) LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE! You didn't see any reindeer, and Santa gave me a present too!
Dylan: (for the rest of the evening, mumbles) Liar liar pants on fire, liar liar liar, liar liar pants on fire...

Ahh, a sad illutration of the consequences of lying to young minds about Santa Clause. I dream of the day when ALL people, adults and children alike, can finally know that Santa is not real, and get on with their lives.
To that end I am starting a Foundation. I am calling it The Foundation for World Truth about the Myth of Santa Clause. Or FWTMSC for those who like acronyms. Donations are always accepted and cash is preferred...
Funny, Cara! I can just hear those notty kids. ;O)
What fun to hear about those two! I can hardly believe that Dylan can talk- last time I saw him, he was a big, round blob of an infant! Next time you babysit, tell Kristin I said hi!
