imaginarycircus at 06:01pm on 25/12/2008When asked that question my five year old niece told Santa she wanted a "glass" doll--meaning porcelain. Santa took that in stride and turned to my almost three year old niece sitting on his other knee and asked her what she wanted. Her answer? "A bloody head."
No. Really. She asked Santa for a bloody head. For Christmas.
It took my brother in law a while to unravel the mystery. But it turns out people asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween for weeks and when Halloween was over they started asking her what she wanted for Christmas. When they were in a store around Halloween looking at masks there was rubber face with lots of fake blood--like a head wound. And she just lumped it all together.
Santa didn't seem to know what to say and just said, "Oh-ooookay."
Even better? My brother in law was in a toy store and happened upon a silicon head that you squeeze and red stuff comes to the surface--a bloody head. So he bought it and gave it to her and she loves it. She says it's gross and runs away and then comes running back and asks her father to squish it again.
On the other hand she also wants a porcelain doll like her sister got. But when she was allowed to pick out a present at the store to buy with gift money yesterday she wanted a rubber chicken. But not just any chicken--when you squeeze it a see through egg sort of pops out of its bottom. Which again she thinks is gross, but loves.
