I was in the kitchen, putting some of my usual clutter away, and Jake yells from the family room (he's watching TV).
J: Mom, can I have one of those? (watching a commercial for flying helicopters, which he actually bought this summer with his own money, spending $20. Scott let him take it out of his piggy bank, which I wouldn't have done)
M: Jake, didn't you already get one of those? (acting naive)
J: Yes, but it broke.
M: I don't know Jake...how long did it take for you to break it?
J: I think 2 days.
M: Hmmm, I think that that toy might be a little bit old for you and that is why it broke so easily. Maybe you should wait a while before getting that again. Besides, I don't think that I want to spend that amount of money on something that you are going to break that easily.
J: But Mom, you wouldn't have to spend the money. It's Christmas, and Santa would bring it for me!!! (sounding like he wants to say DUH at the end of the sentence)
M: Oh, ya, that's right, I forgot!! Santa will bring it.

Funny! Maybe Santa will bring him something that he wants more than the airplane. Wouldn't want Santa to waste his valuable time on something that will be broken so quickly....
Ya! Not sure the elves specialize in those delicate items!! :) Too funny! "DUH, Mom!!"
I think Santa only gives those planes to boys that are 8yrs old and older. But I bet younger boys will get Cool Star War toys......
Clever little boy is Jake!!
