Patrick got his picture with Santa today. They had a very amusing conversation.
Patrick: CHEESE!
Santa: …burger.
P: BURGER!
S: No, cheeseburger.
P: Cheeseburger?
S: Or did you say booger?
P: HAHA burger. Not booger!
S: Patrick, have you been good this year?
P: Yes!
S: Do you always listen to your mom and dad?
P: Yep.
S: Always?
P: Well…sometimes I do.
S: Do you eat your vegetables?
P: Yes!
S: You do?
Molly: What about green beans?
S: Do you like green beans, Patrick?
P: No. I don’t.
S: I don’t like spinach. It’s so good when it’s fresh and cold but then you cook it and it’s just not good.
<Patrick and Santa pose with a tin can telephone.>
P: <yelling> Can you hear me, PUNK?!?
S: Whoa, whoa, hey. How about ‘can you hear me, pardner’?
P: Can you hear me PARDNER!
S: Ha. I think your dad has been teaching you some things that he … maybe shouldn’t be. We might need to get the switch out.
P: Mm-hmm.
S: Do you know what a switch is?
P: Yes, it’s how you move the train from one track to another.
S: <chuckling> Well, yes, but I was thinking of another kind of switch.
P: Like one for cars?
S: Never mind, let’s not talk about that anymore. What do you want for Christmas?
P: Um. I need to think about it.
S: Okay, you can write me a letter, or you can email me. Can you do that?
P: Yes! Yes, I can.
S: Okay, well you do that, and you be sure to listen to your mom and d—well. You listen to your mom. I need to speak with your dad.
