Today Jake told me that he wishes we could buy the game we just returned to the rental store for the Playstation 2.
I told him to ask Santa.
He said defiantly, “well last year he didn’t get me what I wanted.”
I was taken aback.
Silence…
Quick…say something…
“Well, why don’t you make a list so you can make sure he knows exactly what you want,” I told him.
“But how will he see the list?” he asked.
“We will go see him and you can tell him what is on your list, plus Santa can see you all the time and he knows what you want” I said. (I really thought I had him here.)
He disappears into his room. (Good he’s making his list so I can start planning NOW)
He returns with a piece of paper and hands it to me. (Fantastic, that was fast so he must not want too much)
It says, “you can get me what I want.”
Crap.

So, what are you going to do now? (Sorry, I don’t have any great suggestions)
Too funny but wait till he figures out you are Santa, then he will call you a liar just like my children did LOL
Don’t you just hate it when they start getting smarter than you!! It only starts going downhill from there! I wish you luck… :-)
I don’t remember being as smart ande witty as kids are these days. Cute story!
Our kids are getting too smart for me here too. My daughter is the same way and leaves me speechless most of the time. LOL
Hey, I got your email about WordPress themes, but can’t seem to get to the article???
Hah yeah, I jumped the gun. I hit publish a little too soon (ok, I totally blew it and hit the wrong button). I wish there was a way to delete it from the feed…it will publish in a little while, putting some finishing touches on it.
Ok – you gotta be sneaky. Tell him that you talked to Santa, and Santa’s going to give him X,Y and Z. Now, X-Y-Z are things he’ll hate or are totally wrong like a Barbie doll. (Not that there’s anything wrong with getting a Barbie doll if he really wants one.) Then you tell him he better set the big man straight with a list.
