On Santa's lap asking for a teenager. Wha?
Our neighbors Tracy and Pete had a fun Xmas party, during which Santa came and paid the kids a visit.
Julian was the very last kid to sit on Santa's lap, and Santa asked him to whisper what he most wanted for Xmas into Santa's ear.
He did so, and Santa got a puzzled look on his face. He asked Julian to repeat his wish. Downright confusion on Santa's face.
"He says he wants a TEENAGER for Christmas! Is that right?"
Julian nodded yes.
Santa is now all weirded out. Some comedian says, "Hey, a teenager... that's Dan's wish, not his!"
I am totally mystified, and have no idea where he came up with this. Later on I ask him what a teenager is, and he says, "It's this toy..." but can't describe any further.
I tell him it's a person who is older than a kid, but not yet a grown-up. Is that what he wants for Xmas?
Oh, no.
Still can't figure out how he came to the conclusion that
(A) a teenager is a toy, and
(B) he wants one!
