[blparent] Funny Story about my Daughter

[Steve Jacobson]

Elizabeth,

I see it coming in a few years so get ready.  "If Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny are not real, why do we think God is real?"  This is a true quote, but 
you have a few years to get ready for your turn with it.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
