Well, that’s settled then

Nathan was wading through the 764,000-page Thanksgiving edition of The Huntsville Times this evening.

Nathan:  “Daddy, here are a couple of good games we can get for the Wii!”

Daddy:  “But we don’t have a Wii.”

Nathan:  “You said we were going to get a Wii.”

Daddy:  “Well, I said a long time ago that I might like to get one, but I didn’t say we definitely were.”

Nathan (matter-of-factly):  “Well, I asked Santa Claus for a Wii, and I can’t change it now.”

(Fortunately, Santa scored one in September.)
