Christmas Funnies

From Charlotte:

We have a count down to Christmas calendar for each of the kids.  You know the kind that you open a window each day and a minuscule sized chocolate is behind it?  That's what we've got.  They love opening the flaps and seeing what design the chocolate was molded into.  Today Charlotte opened the flap and said, "I got a Christmas Aardvark!"  She was thrilled.  I looked at it and had to admit that what I assume was supposed to be a reindeer head did in fact look like an aardvark. Nothing says Merry Christmas like an aardvark.

From Greg:

This morning or neighbor was over waiting to walk to school with us.  She was drawing a picture of Santa when she asked Greg, "Greg, do you believe in Santa?"  Greg said, "NO!  I believe in monster trucks."  She replied, "You have to believe in Santa.  If you don't then you don't get any presents."  Greg, "Oh, all right, I guess I believe in Santa.....but I really believe in monster trucks."

Ha! James has an obsession with monster trucks too! He likes to insert the phrase "monster trucks" in the middle of sentences at random as a joke. He cracks himself up and leaves the rest of us confused...

It was only the head and I must say that as a reindeer head it looked a little longish. Plus, also there was supposed to be a bow around the neck, which was at the bottom of the chocolate. This complicated proportions a bit. It didn't look like either a reindeer or an aardvark, but if you squinted you could see either one.
