Life...

My 7 year old was looking through the JC Penny Holiday catalog the other day. He shows me those small motorcycles that are all the rage now and says he wants Santa to bring him one for Christmas.
"Honey, those are small, but they are for grownups or much older kids. They are much too dangerous. Santa is not gonna bring you one."
He looks down at the catalog for a moment and looks up at me and says (very sweetly) "Mom, you know.... you really don't have much say in what Santa brings me."
I laughed so hard, I got him to laughing and then the dog jumps on us. And luckily I didn't have to explain why I was laughing.

I think we have kids so we can believe in everything again.
And I'm not talking Santa, here, either.
