Kid Conversation

Thursday after Christmas, after all of the grandparents had left, my eldest watched The Santa Clause movie with me. It's a long time favorite of mine and I was hoping she would enjoy it. As is so often the case with young kids, you never know what, exactly, they are going to focus on.

Kid: Dad, your hair is turning really white, really fast.
Dad: Your college fund is losing $$ pretty quick too.
Kid, patting Dad's arm: It's ok, Dad. I'm only teasing.

Then she came over to me and whispered that she didn't think her dad was going to turn into Santa Claus. I agreed with her. Turns out she really only wanted to meet a reindeer and maybe go for a ride in the sleigh.
