Perceptive Kids

Alana's good friend Tommy (almost 5) opened the presents in his stocking. His Mom (Jo) said, "These are all from Santa!"

Without a beat, he said, "No they're not."

Jo: "Yes, they are."

Tommy: "No Mommy, this is the paper that you and An-Chian-ayi have been using."

(pause, while his grandparents start laughing, practically rolling on the floor)

Jo, thinking quickly: "Well...Santa doesn't always have enough paper...so sometimes he borrows some from the houses he visits...to wrap the gifts he brings."

She's not sure he bought it.

Mom and Dad will never forget their error of wrapping "that" gift for me with the Teddy Paper I bought at age 5!
