Sheer Terror

That is the only way to describe John's reaction at meeting Santa on Friday. We were in line and watched several of the kids sit with Santa. I kept pointing out Santa and John enthusiastically repeated "anta" with me and pointed at the bearded man. I thought we were on a roll. As our turn came up we approached Santa, waved to him, and John even almost smiled at him for a nano second. I thought we were good. Then as I leaned over to put John on Santa's lap John grabbed me with a death grip, his fingernails clawing and sticking in my shirt like a delirious cat and this is what happened....


Can you hear the scream through the picture? I can. It was pretty awful. I think people in Dallas could hear the scream. Here's the full picture.




But, my, what a professional Santa is...he continues to look as jolly as can be despite the terrified child on his lap.



Here's a look at last year.

huh? where am I? who is this guy?

This picture is worthy of remembering to show John's future wife...and probably his college roommates too. Anyone that could potentially give him a hard time later in life! Wow what a scream!
