Dear Santa,

I have been a good boy this year. A really good boy. Even my Mommy says so, so it must be true. If you don’t believe me, ask her. She’ll tell you. I want a bicycle and a sled and a Game Boy and a LEGO Ninjago Spinjitzu Dojo and a NERF Vortex Nitron and a basketball and a football and a catchers mitt and ball and bat... Mommy tells me she can’t find a catchers mitt for me because I’m left handed. I don’t know what that means but I bet you do. You can make one for me, can’t you? And did I say I want a sled?

Three Messages from us Old Folks
Edited by Bob Robinson

Think twice before messing with an oldster - An old prospector shuffled into the town of El Indio, Texas leading a tired old mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town to clear his parched throat. He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail.
