The Mommy gave a green crayon and some paper to Samuel after strapping
him into the high chair. “Write a letter to Santa! We’ll put it with
the cookies and milk tonight!” Samuel gazed at the paper dismally
before grasping the crayon in little boy stickiness.
He formed his thoughts and began to write. Dear
Fat Man in the Red Suit, I concede to your knowledge and wish to
inform you that I do not regret a single thing. Well, the cat and
scissors episode was a mistake on my part….
Samuel beheld the paper which was now partially covered in scribbles, not in the clear words from his head. Dammit, green stick! Obey, or feel my wrath! But to his dismay, his hand continued to make the same scrawl. Oh, well.
He continued, …but
The Cat is doing well, and we have made our peace. Please accept this
humble milk and cookies as an offering of friendship. Sincerely, Samuel
The word “sincerely” stuck in his throat, but a little lying was fine at
Christmas, as he had observed adults greeting each other with feigned
delight. Then Samuel smashed the green crayon into pieces on the tray.
You were warned.
That Christmas Eve night, The Mommy let Samuel carry the plate of
cookies to the coffee table. Both parents beamed with pride at his
carefulness. The Daddy put the glass of milk down beside the cookies,
while The Mommy gave Samuel the letter to place with the cookies.
While The Parents laughed and hugged, Samuel turned his back to them,
and prepared to place the letter atop the cookies. Before this was
done, Samuel dug deep into his nose, and removed a booger. I have been saving this all day, just for you, Santa!
He smeared the booger onto a raisin on a cookie at the edge closest to the fireplace. Eat this, Fat Man!

Oh, that Samuel is a stinker, Susan, but his escapades make me laugh. Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteSamuel is a corker, that's for sure.
DeleteI get smashing the green crayon, having done things like that myself, but the peach of Christmas and a bad little boy stumps me. also he must have a really IQ to think those thoughts, but not a lot of common sense to wave a red flag in Santas Face on the night he drops off toys, Me think Sammie might get a bag of coal
ReplyDeleteIt could be that Santa skips his house?
DeleteI was enjoying the read thoroughly dear Susan until Samuel dig his nose 😂
ReplyDeleteO my this was totally unexpected and disgusting lol
Samuel has many talents.
DeleteEWWW SAMUEL!!!
ReplyDeleteI have watched many of my boy students pick their noses. Man. It is awful.
DeleteSamuel was special. I know Santa gave him more than he deserved.
ReplyDeleteIt is a two way street.
DeleteSanta saw that!
ReplyDeleteYou betcha. Santa knows Samuel well.
DeleteDisgusting!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but it surely has happened at other places.
DeleteSamuel is a LOT of small boys.
ReplyDeleteYes he is. He is very creative, like lots of the little guys.
