He's starting to get the picture. All those genius marketing people are earning their salaries right now. Because my son is ALL ABOUT CHRISTMAS. Every commercial, every ad, every single thing he sees... he wants it on his Christmas list.
Yesterday, I was driving home when we pulled up next to a motorcyle at a stop light.
OOOOHHHHH! I WANT THAT!
What?
That! That motorcyle!
Buddy, be serious.
I AM being serious. I want that motorcycle for Christmas. Can you put it on my Christmas list, mommy? Please please please please PLEASE!!!???
Surely you know why I cannot buy you a motorcyle for Christmas, right?
(long pause to think)
Oh, yeah, because it won't fit in the package, huh?
Since I was exceptionally tired (Day 3 of bootcamp and all), I just agreed with him and let it go. I'm pretty sure the topic is going to come up again sometime over the next 16 years, so I'm preparing my list of better reasons now.
And just to prove how singularly focused his little brain is right now, my mom overheard him singing the lyrics to one of his favorite Bible songs yesterday while playing under the Christmas tree at her house.
11 months out of the year, he sings:
Ho-Ho-Ho-Hosanna
Ha-Ha-Hallelujah
He-He-He-He saved me!
I've got the joy of the Lord.
But this December, he's belting out:
Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho- SANTA!
Looks like it may be time to visit the library - I'll be looking for books with "The True Meaning of Christmas" in the title.
What's coming out of the mouths of your babes this month?
