While wandering around the mall the other day, a small boy passed by Ryan, staring him down as he walked. The boy looked up at his mother and asked her (very loudly), “Mom, is that man Santa Claus or a giant wizard?”
Um, Dear, it may be time to trim that beard because although being compared to “Santa” and “a giant wizard” are both considered to be compliments by small children, they’re not so much compliments to us adults as much as they are warning signs… :)
