December 27, 2007 -- Dear Santa, I hope you are well and Mrs. Claus is too. I am sure she is cleaning up and complaining about all this work just like our Mommy is.
I liked the things you brought, I really did, and so did my little brother. But Daddy can't understand why I like the flashlight Grandpa got me better than the $400.00 VSmile Baby you brought. I had a wonderful day shining my flashlight down Grandpa's throat, into the fireplace, on the ceiling, and under my bed. Auntie showed me a neat game with my flashlight and a mirror that kept me busy for two hours, until I decided to see what was under the refrigerator. (Mommy said that was not my best idea.)
Daddy kept trying to take my flashlight away and make me "pay attention" to the VSmile Baby Console. Daddy thinks I should spend hours sitting in front of a screen and pressing keys when that smiley voice I hate tells me to, or I will never get into Harvard. Grandpa said for heavens sake she is only three years old, and gave me back my flashlight.
My little brother likes the Brio Train Set and that huge Playskool Lets Learn Colours, Shapes, and Letters Console you left; at least, he will when he can stand up. Mommy was mad when he would rather play with the tupperware in Grandma's drawer and bang on a pot with a spoon. She says if he does not learn his colours, shapes and letters he will fall behind and the other lawyers at her office will laugh at her. Grandma says for heavens sake he is ten months old and let him play in the tupperware drawer.
Santa, I know you mean well and you want me and my brother to be very smart so Mommy and Daddy will not be laughed at by their friends and the cause of women will be advanced. But could you please drop them a little hint that little girls would rather spend their time learning about refraction and reflection with a flashlight and a mirror and their aunties, and babies would rather bang a pot with a spoon and chew on a tupperware lid, than sit in front of a screen and press keys or repeat colours, letters and shapes when they are too small to even stand up?
And P.S. next year would you please not bring me another doll? Because actually I don't like dolls. Please, if you could write it down in your big book, I would rather have a remote control Corvette --- and some batteries for my flashlight.
love and kisses from your friends, Junior and Susie
