My sweet friend Melissa Rhoads who worked with me at American Funds in San Antonio sends each of my kids a letter from Santa every year. They enjoy receiving them even if we don't officially "DO" Santa Clause. Julian says, "Mom, I know this letter is definitely not for real. You know how I know? It says that I have been really good this year." Chuckle. "I've been pretty bad this year. I would totally be on the naughty list."
I found myself getting a little defensive. He's talking about my son! Are you attacking my parenting skills? "Well, Julian, I think you have been pretty good."
"Not really. Didn't you just see me throw my backpack at D'arcy's head?"
Julian made a face at me and I said, "Oh, you look just like your Dad."
Julian says, "No, I don't look anything like Dad. I look like Penelope."
"Well, then who does Penelope look like?"
Julian looks at me like I'm crazy ridiculous, "Me."
