“Mama, can I have a Phineas and Ferb shirt for Christmas?”
“I don’t know,Tyler. That’s something you’ll have to ask Santa for.”
“Oh. But I don’t have his number.”
“Well see, that’s what’s so magical about Santa. You don’t need a telephone to reach him. All you have to do is talk to him in your head, and he’ll hear you.”
“Oh.”
(After a silent moment)
“Mama, will you ask Santa for me? He didn’t say ‘what.'”
