Where’s My Clone?!
Dear Santa,
Do you know the movie where the kid gets mad at you for kissing his mommy—that kid has nothing on me. Here’s the thing, you didn’t kiss my mommy; you did something much worse. You lied to me, and not the white kind of lie either.
One day, I went to the mall with Daddy to visit you, and I had the time of my life. There were the candy canes as large as my head, a train ride that seemed to go around the whole mall, and I got to tell you all the cool things I want for Christmas.
After it was all over and Daddy and I were walking home, I saw you again, standing in your bright red suit and smiling at people as they walk by.
I thought This is the best day of my life! I can talk to Santa, not once but twice today! This is the perfect time to add to my list!
Naturally, I showed Daddy the wide, puppy dog eyes he can’t say no to, and he let me talk to you again. You stopped ringing your bell, leaned to me, and asked, “What do you want for Christmas?”
I was confused and said, “Don’t you remember? I just gave you my list.”
Holding that round belly of yours, you laughed and said, “Well, of course, I remember, little girl.”
To make a long Christmas letter short, I know the truth. The one you, Mrs. Clause, and those elves try to hide. You have clones! I knew it was a little too amazing how you can get to every home in the whole world without being late or skipping a house, but now I know.
And I have one question for you, Mr. Santa. “Where’s my clone?!”
