"I want to be an Elf"

Interesting morning we've had here...

Brennan was full of questions about Santa~ how old is he? is he magic? how do you get to go work for him?

That led to his new fascination- ELVES! Are they real? Why are they so little? Are the my age? How can they be so old and so small?

I answered the best I could based on the movies (sad, I know) that I know he's seen and could compare them to. I think he seemed content with the answers I gave.

Then, as I was making him put on his coat, hat and gloves to catch the bus, he said the funniest thing..."I want to be an Elf." He walks over to me with his beanie tucked behind his ears, making his ears all pointy! "I'm going to be an Elf today." He was so proud that he'd figured out how to make himself look like an elf that I just smiled and nodded and sent him on his way.

Such sweet childlike faith...I want to be an Elf too!!!
