No Way!:2005

She entered the room to see Santa--her two and a half year old frame dressed in party finery.

It appeared that this moment had been anticipated by someone, perhaps for pictures.

Upon seeing the jolly old man she stopped dead in her tracks,

her countenance fell, she squared herself up stubbornly and uttered, "No Way!"


As if her manner wasn't clear enough, Santa asked her parents if he had heard right?
"Yes, it is her favorite phrase right now."

No manner of coaxing could get her to go to Santa. "No Way!" she exclaimed again. Of course it hurt Santa's feelings. He never likes it when children don't want to come to him. But he had never seen the rejection declared by a two-year-old, going on thirty. You gotta love it. Merry Christmas.
