Think Kit Day 3: Deck the LOLs

Share a side-splitting story from last year.

Well, here's the thing. I'm exhausted; I worked for 8 hours, then took the little to see Santa, pet a reindeer and have some general all-around fun and now I'm trying to find the energy to just put him to bed. (You know how that goes, parents.)

I cannot think of anything completely hilarious from last year, but the child is full of one-liners, zingers, and zany Monty Python-esque quips. He's the kind of kid who really knows what he wants out of life; he's literally the only 4-year-old I know who wakes up early on Saturday mornings and wants to learn more German instead of watching cartoons, he thinks Transformers and Disney princesses are one in the same, and he told an old man recently that he's a "femnist". That's right. I birthed the perfect person.

So tonight whilst talking to Santa at his school, he was asked the usual question and I figured he'd tell him what he told his aunt: Transformers and Rescue Bots.

No, not my child. Ever-aware of me and always wanting to take care of me he oh-so-seriously looked Santa in the eye and said, "A boyfriend for my mom."

I got called out ... to Santa Claus.
