Christmas Monkeys
A coworker has a 4-year-old daughter that just experienced her first "real" Christmas. You know, where she's old enough to understand the concept of Santa and getting lots of stuff because a fat guy feels generous once a year. Anyway, she's already starting to doubt the logic of St. Nick and is asking questions.
Q: How come the Santa on tv doesn't look like the Santa at the mall?
A: Well, it's a big job. There have to be regional Santas to get it done.
Q: How come Santa comes down the chimney? Why doesn't he come in the front door?
A: Because the door is locked, and since his reindeer are on the chimney, it's just easier access.
Ironically, her parents have her convinced that there are monkeys living behind the washing machine. When asked by her mother how the monkeys got in, the girl replied in a slightly exasperated tone, "Remember? You opened the door and they ran in, but they were so small you didn't notice them. And now they live behind the washing machine."
Perhaps the monkeys should bring the gifts next year.
