#1 "JADEN, SANTA IS WATCHING YOU RIGHT NOW ! ! !" (Aubrey
- age 27)
Yelled at the
Christmas Eve Goodwin Family Devotional. The boy had just received a Christmas gift from his adoring Grand Ma and Pa. During a temper tantrum the unopened gift was lifted over his head. He was going to chuck it.

epilogue: Jaden did indeed chuck the gift in front of grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc. etc. The reactions varied from ghoulish delight to covert disparagement of the child's parents and the common consent that the Soules have very little to do with "Peace on earth, Good will to men".

P.S. The gift was Monster Pajamas . . . he is still wearing them.

P.S. S. We are soooo getting FLU SHOTS next year.
