My 4 year-old is shopping with me.
It is December 23 (or there abouts...)
I am obviously BUYING A CHRISTMAS PRESENT
for a relative.

My daughter is putting things together in
her mind....

Suddenly she is SCREAMING at me "IS SANTA REAL?"

"IS HE REAL?"

"TELL ME THE TRUTH!"
"TELL ME THE TRUTH!"

She is swinging from my arm as I try to
access my wallet and buy the present.

Yelling "TELL ME THE TRUTH!!"

All shoppers stop and watch.

I grab her by the shoulders and loudly reply:

"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

Everyone in the department cracks up.

My daughter, realizing she is center stage,
drops the whole issue.

Christmas memories....
