大毛孩七岁半了, 对SANTA深信不疑.

今年的SANTA LETTER FIRST VERSION:

Dear Santa,

Thisyear I've been good.  I helped my mom with the garden.  I helped takingcare of my sister.  I tested to orange belt at Karate and I also passedthe piano test.  I also went to the next grade.  I am in 2nd Gradenow. 

This year I want a pet dog.  Please get it at a shelter.  Can you name it SPIKE?

Choose an answer:

Yes        No

Have a nice Christmas, Santa!

看了之后让我们头痛不已. 要什么不行, 干嘛非要小狗儿呢? 现在我们真的没有精力照顾他/她.  而且大毛孩是过敏体质, 小毛孩也太小.

于是我就开始BAD MOUTH 小狗儿:  大毛孩, A DOG MIGHT PEE OR POO ON YOUR HOMEWORK, YOUR GAMEBOY, DS OR PSP.

他想了想:  WE COULD TRAIN THE DOG.

"BUTACCIDENT DOES HAPPEN SOMETIMES.  ALSO, IT MIGHT LOSE HAIRE-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E IN THE HOUSE.  PLUS IT WILL BARK AT NIGHT, WAKINGUP EVERYBODY IN THE FAMILY" 

于是他又加了几句在SANTA LETTER 上: 

"And can you tell it not to pee or poo or do anything to my stuff.  Also can you get one that does not lose hair.

Oh yeah can you get a blonde one and it will not bark at night."

哎, 我真没折了!!

LG上阵:  大毛孩, DO YOU KNOW THERE IS A MAD DOG DISEASE?  THOUSANDS OF PEOPLEDIED OF THAT DISEASE.  DO YOU WANT TO RUN THE RISK? ......

终于把他吓到了.  又写了一封信:

DEAR SANTA,

IHAVE BEEN GOOD THIS YEAR.  I HELPED LOOKING AFTER THE BABY, MY SISTERAND I HELPED TKING OUT THE GARBAGE.  I WOULD LIKE A SOCCER BALL ANDPOKEMON DRAGON FRONTIER CARDS.  AS FOR MY SISTER -- A TOY STROLLER.

LOVE,

XX

TOTOLLY ACCEPTABLE!!! 我们总算放了心.

可又遇到了新问题, 几家TOYS R US 居然都RUN OUT OF POKEMON CARDS!  网上订也来不及了.  我和LG分头跑了几家专门卖卡的店, 到昨天才卖到了他要的卡.

当SANTA 不容易啊!
