Santa Confusion

I may have unintentionally confused my 2 year old granddaughter about the whole thing that Santa Claus brings Christmas presents, when one morning the UPS man rang the doorbell and Kennedy and I answered it.  He was holding 6 boxes.  I told Kennedy, "Oh look, Kennedy, the UPS man has brought lots of Christmas presents."  We thanked him and hurried inside to open all the boxes.  I did all my Christmas shopping from my computer this year.  Mostly that means I stuck to a budget.  I am terrible at walking through a store and just buying all kinds of fun looking trash.  I keep my focus much better shopping by computer.
 
Anyway, I knew none of them were for Kennedy, so we enjoyed checking them out. Then a couple of days later as we were taking a stroll down the street, a UPS truck turned on our street.  He stopped at a house right in front of us and carried a box to the neighbor's door.  I said to Kennedy, "I think they are getting a Christmas present."  As he walked passed us, Kennedy looked up at him and said in the sweetest and clearest voice, "I like you."  I think that made the UPS man's day.  He smiled at her and walked to his truck with a spring in his step.

    Many times delivery people just need a comment like that.
    I hope that you have a wonderful day.
