Santa??

Late this afternoon, we shopped the pre-New Year's sale at Macy's for some new luggage. (60% off - success!!) I left Macy's to go do some returns and Daniel and Scott paid for the luggage and played in the rug department (which is a great time killer for kids if you ever need one at the mall.) While I was gone, Scott said that a man and a woman started browsing the luggage nearby. The man had long white hair and was a bit round around the middle.

Daniel: "Santa, Daddy. Santa, Daddy."
Scott: (laughs)

The man and his wife start to discuss the luggage.

Daniel: "Santa talking, Daddy. He's talking, Daddy!"
Scott: "That's not Santa, Daniel."
Daniel: "Where Santa?"

We've been explaining that he is now at the North Pole taking a rest. The eaten cookies apparently made an impression on Daniel because he comments daily about Santa eating them.
