SANTA CLAUS
During the Christmas season of 2000 (at age 4 1/2, a few months before he
died), Eric came home one day from the mall, all excited. He had just
seen Santa Claus!
He rushed into his sister's room (she was 16 at the time, and going
through the throes of teenage-itis) and started to tell her all about
it. She responded by telling Eric that Santa Claus was just a story,
and that he didn't really exist.
Eric thought for a minute, then told her that she was wrong.
She countered by stating that he was wrong.
This went on for awhile, untill finally the two of them were fighting like
cats and dogs.
"HE' S NOT REAL" Stacy shouted.
"YES HE IS" Eric responded.
"NO HE'S NOT" Stacy insisted.
"I KNOW HE IS" yelled Eric, frustrated, his face completely contorted, "BECAUSE
I SAW HIM"!
That was the end of the argument!
