I was just in WalMart trying to do some Christmas shopping. Lot's of
people, lot's of bad little kids running around the store
uncontrolled, and I hate bad kids. Anyhow, I see a woman and her 6-7
year old boy. halfway down an isle. Mama is pretty much ignoring the
kid while he pulls stuff off the shelves onto the floor. He finally
gets his mom's attention and asks her, pointing to me, if that is
Santa Clause. She mumbles something then goes back to ignoring him.
I'm looking at something, but watching and listening all around me. He
comes up to me and ask "Mister, are you really Santa Clause?". I say
"You bet, KId, and I'm watching you" He says "you're lying to me" I
see another kid down the isle so I say "Yea? See that kid in the blue
coat? His name is Bobby Robinson. I brought him that coat last year.
And a radio controlled truck and a BB gun. He was good, but his
sister, Susan, was not. I brought her some switches" He looks at me,
slacked jawed and ran back to his Mom. I ducked around the corner and
disappeared! Those of you who don't know what I look like, I have a
full long white beard and have been confused as Santa many times in
the past
