Funny stuff

A couple cute stories.....

Last Friday night, we went to the mall. While Sydney and I ran into a store, Patrick and Parker waited for us outside. When we came out, Parker grabbed my hand and said, "Mommy, I am taking you to see the 'real' Santa Claus."(remember he met Santa a Sea World already--uh oh)
So he we went to see the 'real' Santa where the kids were able to sit on Santa's lap-which they couldn't do at Sea World-and they told him what they wanted. What a wonderful Santa he was! The kids told him about their elf, Sydney told him the elf's name and Santa told her that he goes to the North Pole every night to report to him. Then Santa talked to them about some things they may want for Christmas. He knew exactly what to talk about and what the kids would like these days.

So our Elf on a Shelf was sitting on a very high window sill in our house on Monday. When I was talking to the kids, I asked them how "Fitzy" got up way up there. Parker said that Nana put him up there. I told him that she couldn't have because she's too short. I said, "Maybe he flew up there." Parker then without hesitation replied, "He doesn't have wings". I then replied with, "You don't need wings when you have magic. How do you think he gets back and forth from the North Pole every night??" Sydney my little believer(thank goodness)says,"Yea, Parper, he flew up there."

Yesterday morning, "Fitzy" was in the kids bathroom. He was sitting on a picture that hangs on the wall. As the kids were brushing their teeth, I spoke directly to Fitzy, "Hey, Fitzy, look at Parker and Sydney. They are doing such a great time brushing their teeth." Parker says, "Mommy, he's not talking to you because he's pretend." I said, "No, he's not pretend. He is real." My little cheerleader, Syd, jumped in and said, "Parper he's real!" She then left the bathroom and Parker stayed. I then asked Parker, "Why did you say that he is pretend?" He replied, "Because he has a tag, Mommy". My reply, "We all wear tags on our clothes, Parker." And i showed him the tag on my shirt!
