This totally cracked me up! My sister used to “call” the phone when she was little. Meaning she was the only one allowed to answer it! She’d sit under it (remember corded wall phones?) for like an hour just waiting and waiting for someone to call. Strange child!

Seriously, you have to call a friend (on your cell) and have them call you back (on the landline). Duh!

And calling fave uncles and asking, “Santa, can you see when Claudia/Ian is pooping?” will give them years of therapy. Trust me, it works.

We will do crazy, crazy things to be able to shower and dress alone.

At least, I think we will. I’ve never actually gotten through the whole routine without “help” from my 5 yo and 2 yo.

Lucky us!

I called Santa this year on my 2YO. It didn’t do much for the little guy, but his big sister (6YO) was floored. Totally worth it.

Thank you Sarah. That was the best thing I read all day. Apparently I have the sense of humor of a 5 year old.

HAHAHA. You are funny. I always always invoke Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the Thanksgiving Turkey when there’s even a smidgeon of a chance it will work. Desperate times . . .

I can only threaten with Hanukkah Harry, but I don’t think Hanukkah Harry is as voyeuristic as Santa. Is he?

(And I’m hiding in my room from grown people for an hour on Christmas day to read blogs apparently so maybe we all need time alone. All the time. I LOVE MY FAMILY I LOVE MY FAMILY. )

And I am so totally shocked your phone didn’t ring that I really don’t believe the premise of this post. Isn’t Santa calling you several times per day?

If Santa can see me when I do that then Santa is a big effing freak.

Too funny…it’s amazing what will make them laugh and forget what they were fighting about at this age.
