Santa: visible boredom
Spud: mild concern
I was dropping him off this morning and happened to be there when it was time for the infants to visit with Santa. So Spud is actually looking at me as I wave my arms wildly with a goofy grin on my face, in hopes that he would smile for the camera (I think Santa is actually eyeing me too, wondering if he should call security). So Spud's expression may reflect his concern over whatever the hell is wrong with his silly daddy, not the fact that he's being held by a total stranger that smells funny and apparently is foaming at the mouth. Or perhaps has partially consumed a poodle.
My question: Are Santa's white gloves to protect him from the children or the children from him?
Grandpa Chadwick says: Hmmmm. Spud is not sure this is a good idea yet. HE knows that he's on the "good kid" list no matter what he does, so why does he have to suffer this indignity? This is just the first step. Later will come: "slip on down the slide, Spud...Dad will catch you." Plop.
