Christmas

Ever the well rounded kid, the two things Julia most wanted for Christmas were a locket and a Darth Vader talking mask. Happily she woke Christmas morning to find both under the tree. When I asked her whose picture she would like to put in the locket, she was surprised. Although she wanted one because Isabel had one and loved that it opened and closed, she had no idea that it could hold a picture. I explained that you should put a picture of someone who is special to you inside. Hoping (but knowing her well enough to not entirely expect) it'd be her dad and I, I asked whose picture she will put in there. Darth Vader was her reply. I should have known. What little girl doesn't want a photograph of the dark lord in her locket?
