RE: When my son got older and would say, “I know you’re Santa Claus”, I would answer, how can I be Santa Claus? How can I go around the world, very to every house and give presents to every kid on Christmas Eve?
He shoulda said — I know you are MY Santa Claus...
Did he say he saw Mommy kissing you underneath the mistletoe?
“He shoulda said — I know you are MY Santa Claus...”
He didn’t have the articulateness to argue in that way, but he knew it.
He was smart enough to know it was wasn’t really a denial of what he was saying and was a tacit admission he was right.
