The things children ask...........
Yesterday Robert and I were having one of THOSE conversations that all parents dread, well I do anyway. The kinda conversation that can go either way, with a profound statement at the beginning and you are not sure where its going to end. Our conversation went like this:
Robert: Mum, see Christmas and Santa?
Me: Yessss??? (Wondering what is coming next!)
Robert: Well, Mum, I believe in Santa.
Me: (Huge sigh of relief)That's good, coz it'll soon be Christmas.
Robert: You know why I believe in Santa, Mum?
Me: No,Why?
Robert: Coz he's Robin's dad!
Me: (Trying desperately not to laugh out loud with relief) That's right, Robert, Robin's Dad is Santa.
Robert: Do you think he has a car or reindeer and a sleigh?
Me: I'm sure he has a car, but maybe he has a sleigh for if its snowing!
Robert: Mum?
Me: Yes?
Robert: Can you email Robin and ask?
Me: Why don't you email her, you have her address?
Robert: She's your friend, you ask her!
Me: OK!
The innocence of an eight year old....but for how much longer I ask?
BTW, I haven't emailed Robin, but maybe when she reads this she will let me know and I can pass the message on to Robert!

That's just plain adorable.
My mum told me when I began to question it that if Santa wasn't real he wouldn't be coming so I still believe....mind you he stopped coming anyway!
Robin told me about ya'll's conversation!!! Her dad is the "real deal!" Hope you and all of your fellas have a merry one!
