$$#@%* school bus!!

My oldest daughter, Severn – who is in the throes of second grade – asked me a few days ago if “Santa was really mom and dad, like the kids on the bus said…” I figured I had a year or two in the bank before having to deal with this particular query. Fortunately I heard through the elf grapevine that a printed a copy of this will be rolled up in Severn’s stocking from Santa this year. Thought I’d share for anyone else out there whose faith in everything wavers a little at this time of year. It really is a beautiful piece of writing. Enjoy.

Hey Matt, is this an original newspaper clipping, or a reproduction? Where did you get it? I'd love to stuff one in my grandson's stocking next year!

Btw, I always enjoy your 'toons,

Doug

Doug,
I got it from the Newseum's website. Try this URL:

It's a copy of the original clipping from the New York Sun from 1897.
Good luck with your Grandson!!
