Don't You Wish Your Mom Was Just Like Me?

When Asher's school handed me his wish list for Santa this Christmas season, my reaction was #1:
we already have crayons, markers and star for a tree, so check, check and check

#2:
we will maybe have turkey, so check

#3:
star wars PJ's, indians, and a Christmas cup can all be easily accomplished

#4:
I have some concern about a shiny red nose.
Does he mean, like rudolph? Or a clown nose? Does it need to glow? Or can we just buy him a rudolph stuffed animal?
Hmmm. geez.

#5:
Goldfish.
Food or animal?
Animal: Can I buy a thing that will be sure to die before we go on assignment this summer?
That was actually my thought process.

What is wrong with me?
Seriously.
If someone can tell me, then I will save the money from visiting a counselor.
