Marmot Mamma: right
Thing Two: (pause) But we got presents last year at Christmas . . .
MM: . . . . .
Thing Two: (long pause and thoughtful look with big, innocent eyes) . . . Why?
another conversation
Thing Two: When will Heavenly Father come out of heaven?
MM: ummmm, I don't know.
Thing Two: Maybe heaven is near India. (The girls are fascinated with India these days because they've watched The Jungle Book. Thing One wants us to move there and plans to take her bike so she can get around without riding an elephant.)

My favorite thing from Christmas the first year Thing One heard about Santa Claus was when she turned to the window and yelled out toward the street, "Thank you, Santa!" every time she got a present. Even when the present was from Mom. And we said to Thing One, "This is from Grandma."
I've heard through the grape vine that at one time you were part of a "Friends" discussion group, etc. Could you please expound on this in some way? Thennnkkkkkssss...
(perhaps this was while you were living in the middle of America)
I was not "part of" a Friends discussion group, I peeked in on it from time to time (in a strictly academic, research-based sense, of course). I wanted to see the ugly underbelly of American Pop Culture. It was WILD, man. People living virtual lives through TV. And yes, I was smack dab in the middle of America. What else was I going to do for fun?
