Taxes

Sterling asked me yesterday if Santa Claus was rich.  I told him I didn't think so.  I wish he was!  Anyway:  this was our conversation:

Ster:  Well, Connor said he was rich.

Me:  I don't think he is, but others may think he is rich.

Ster:  I don't think he is rich.  If he was rich, he'd have to pay taxes.

Me:  Are you learning about taxes in school?

Ster:  no.

Me:  Then why are you talking about taxes?

Ster:  Because.

Me:  What are taxes?

Ster:  When you make too much money you have to give some away.


Well, okay.  Not exactly right, but pretty close =)


Ster must really think Santa is rich.  At day care, they made a "Santa Wish List" by pasting pictures of what they want onto paper.  Ster had 2 pages completely filled on both sides.  When Brooke told him that she didn't think Santa could bring all those presents, he replied:  "Yes he can.  He'll just go back to the North Pole and load back up."  Smart kid.  Too bad it doesn't work that way.  My list would be 10 pages long!
