Steve, my niece asked me yesterday, "Is there
really a Santa Claus?"
I said, "Yes, there really is."
As my mother would say, "Yes there is a Santa
Claus."
And as I grew older my mother would then say,
"See Santa Claus is real. He is me (my mother) and
your father."
My brother asked me yesterday when I referred to
a book I gave him to read. It includes a short story
in it about a man in a tent far to the north who
became a duck, flew to the ocean, became a whale,
learned all about whales, then became a duck again to
fly back to the tent and let everybody know about how
whales live and how whales want to be treated
respectfully, with care, and thus, my brother said and
asked me, "I couldn't follow the book very well. Did
the man really become a duck?"
I said, "Yes."
"No, did he really?" My brother asked again.
"Yes," I responded.
"No, I mean did he really become a duck. A real
duck," my brother went on.
"Yes, really a duck," I responded again.
"Really, I mean really," my brother said in
wonderment again.
"Yes, but you might ask, 'What's a duck?', and
then go from there," I answered him.
