Saturday DH took the girls to have breakfast at Chick-Fil-A with Santa. S was super excited. She wanted to know if she could see his sleigh. I had to be quick on my feet.
"Well, honey, it's probably too big to park at Chick-Fil-A. Their parking lot is pretty small."
"Oh," she said, disappointed. "How will he get there?"
"Maybe he'll park somewhere nearby and walk over?"
"Yeah, or someone can give him a ride."
"Sure," I said, thinking I'd dodged that bullet.
But then her face lit up. "He could park here and ride with us!"
Crap.
"Well, honey, that is so sweet, but he probably already has a ride for today. But you could ask him when you see him if we can give him a ride next year."
"Ok!"
Please let that elephantine memory of hers fail on this so next year we don't have to invent a reason why he didn't accept our invitation...
This is linked to a monthly meme with Not Just Another Jen. November's word of the month is "Give". Though not exactly used in the sense I think she was looking for, it does appear here, and it's a cute story. :)
