Mollie's Christmas List 2010 (age 6)

Dear Santa,
I would like a REAL baby. And 70 Littlest Pet Shops. And 100 stickers that are Littlest Pet Shop-like. I would like a Pillow Pet Turtle and a REAL Chihuahua. I would also like an icecream cake. You can just put it in the freezer when you get here. And I want a little real pink fish. This year, I don't want any books. I have lots of books and getting books is too boring so bring me money instead.

Love,
Mollie

Me: Mollie, Santa can't bring a real baby or a Chihuahua.

Mollie: Ok, we can change Chihuahua to a Pug. I've always loved Pugs.

Me: I don't think Santa can bring dogs or live babies.

Mollie: But I love Pugs. And I love babies.

Me: Where would Santa get a baby from any way? It's not like the elves can make one.

Mollie: Well, if there's a girl elf that's old enough to have a baby, she could have the baby and if she can't take care of it, she could send it to me and then I'd have an elf baby and I already have clothes that would fit it because I have doll clothes. This is what I've wanted all my life: a pug, pug, pug, pug! And a real baby!

Me: Well, you can have your very own baby and your very own Pug when you grow up! But Santa just brings toys. Not live people or animals.

Mollie: It's not fair. Jolie and Sydney got puppies for Christmas when they were little.

Me: Oh, yeah. You're right.

Mollie: I already have the name picked out: Coconut.

Me: (sigh)
