“Dear Santa, How are you? I hope you had a great year. (I made him add that part.)
For Christmas this year, I would like the 2,766-piece Town Hall Lego set (for the reasonable price of $199.99); a Tinker Toy 200-piece plastic construction set, and another mom. Love, Tyler.”
My eyes fell steadily on the third item on his list and froze there. If Doug wasn’t behind me reading it over my shoulder, I might have fallen over backward.
“Tyler, why do you want another mom?” I asked, shaken. “What’s wrong with the one you have?”
“Well…you know how Brian has two moms?” he asked.
I nodded.
“It’s not fair,” he explained. “I want another one, too.”
For the first year ever, Doug helped Tyler address his letter to the North Pole. He even sent it priority mail express.
