A Christmas Story

So, last night at bedtime, Ethan wanted Daddy to tell him a story, even though I usually make one up for him. Aaron looked at me, a little panicked--- he doesn't do well with making up stories on the spur of the moment--- and I said, "Just tell him a Christmas story."

So Aaron did. He proceeded to tell him A Christmas Story. Red Rider BB gun with a built in compass and all. "You'll shoot your eye out," and everything. Ethan loved it. I sat on the floor and giggled silently until tears practically came out of my eyes.

I love that man.

I was going to ask if he made sure to mention the "Italian" (fra-gi-le)lamp...or the Ovaltine decoder ring...or getting your mouth washed out with soap...or, well, I could just keep going.

Best Christmas movie ever! Very cute that that's how he took your suggestion. :)

Brilliant! What an excellent idea. I struggle with ideas sometimes and just pulling something from a movie works magic. Great blog!
