50-52: you better not pout

Eva: Dave, I have some questions about the whole Santa thing.

Dave: Existential, pup culture related, or questioning the physics of sleigh flight at supersonic speeds?

Eva: It has to do with the song. The one where he is coming to town.

Dave: I’ll try my best.

Eva: Well, it says that “He sees you when you're sleeping”. I’m having trouble with that as I can’t see a thing with this hat on my head.

Dave: I have a feeling that the hat fits his head better than yours.

Eva: It also says “You better not pout”. Does it mean that I’m not being good if I’m pouting? Just because I don’t look like I’m enjoying something doesn’t mean that I’m not being exceedingly good by putting up with it.

Dave: Do you have a specific example?

Eva: How about now?

Dave: Don’t worry. You are being very nice. I’m sure that you will be on the nice list and get lots of cookies.

Eva: The last questions are how long his corporate memory is and what is his policy on mitigating circumstances.

Dave: Is that from the song?

Eva: Nope. More of a question about if I wait until December 26th to extract revenge on someone for making me wear this hat and pretend that I enjoy it, will he still remember when he packs the sleigh next year?

Dave: I guess that depends on how heinous the act of revenge is.

Eva: I’ll keep that in mind.

We're wishing everyone a head start on the Merry Christmas thing. Or at least one of us is being merry about it. Special thanks to my daughter Julia for helping keep Eva "happy" during this photo shoot. And an extra special thanks to Eva for putting up with the whole thing.
