Scene: The shopping mall. A and M are visiting Build-A-Bear. A sees a giant Christmas tree in the mall's transept and runs to where Santa is speaking to a Photo-elf. M follows and joins the interview mid-question...
Santa (to A): "... and what would you like for Christmas?"
A (as if he were on a game-show): (pause) "Toys?" [editor's note: A is smart enough to not ask Santa for what he really wants, which is a trap door, a sabre, a gun, and explosives.]
Santa: "Do you like cars?"
A (uncommitted): "Yeah."
Santa: "Do you like trucks?"
A: "Yeah." (sees giant box of tiny candy canes)
Santa (checking with M): "Would you like one of those [candy canes]?"
Candy and stickers are distributed ... and A runs to the mall's Knife Shoppe.
Cut to the next morning. A has just woken up and is sitting on the living room couch.
A (to M): "You know... If that was Santa Clause -- doesn't he need to be at the North Pole making toys?"
