Ok, Beau isn't really a scrooge, but this story made me laugh.
On Saturday, he and I went to the pedestrian mall near my house to enjoy a little lunch, a little beer, and a little college football.
On our way back to the car, we walked through Santa's waiting area. Lots of little kids were VERY excited to see him (a sight that always makes me so happy). The sign said that Santa was out feeding his reindeer and that he'd be back in ten minutes (this is a euphemism I'm going to find a way to work into conversation sometime very soon. "Excuse me, I need to go feed the reindeer." But I digress.)
When we walked into the parking garage, we spotted Santa.
"Santa, you'd better hurry! They're chomping at the bit to see you!" I told him.
Santa thanked me and walked on.
And then there was a little hiss from Beau that (thankfully) only I could hear:
"WE KNOW YOU'RE NOT REAL!"
How damning! If he didn't have a smile on his face when he said it, I might have been frightened.
WE KNOW YOU'RE NOT REAL!
Wow.
