Well, We Tried

Well, we tried to go see Santa, but Ben ended up wanting nothing to do with him. We went to Bass Pro Shop this week to see Santa and had about a 45 minute wait. We were able to walk around the store and see the fishies and the ice fishing shanties and boats before we had to stand in line for about 20 minutes. They have a lot of activities set up for the kids, so Adam stood in line, while Ben and I colored, played with remote control trucks and looked at the decorations. And then Ben spotted this Power Wheels 4-wheeler, and that's all he wanted to do was ride it and play on it. Right before we got up to see Santa, Ben was saying, "Santa, go see Santa" but, alas, when we actually got up there to sit on Santa's lap, he screamed and would have nothing to do with him. So I said forget it. If we get a chance, maybe we'll try again, but oh well. So we get in the car to leave and this in the conversation:
Ben: 'Santa, go see Santa'
Me: 'You didn't want to see Santa, remember'
Ben: 'Why'
Me: 'I don't know why. You're the one that screamed and wouldn't go near him'
Ben: 'Oh. Go see Santa? Santa. Go see Santa'
Me: 'But you didn't want to see Santa'
Ben: 'Why'
Me: 'I don't know why. Why didn't you want to see Santa'
Ben: 'Don't know'
Ugh! Should have had Santa sit on the Power Wheels...
