You Better Be Good! Sarah and her thirteen-year-old sister had been fighting a lot this year. This happens often when you combine a headstrong two-year-old, who is sure she is always right, with a young adolescent. Sarah's parents, trying to take advantage of her newfound interest in Santa Claus, reminded the two-year-old that Santa "was watching" and doesn't like it "when children fight." This had little impact on young Sarah, unfortunately. "I'll just have to tell Santa about your misbehavior," the fustrated mother said as she picked up the phone and dialed. Sarah's eyes grew big as her mother asked "Mrs. Claus" (really Sarah's aunt) if she could put Santa on the line. Sarah's mouth dropped open as her Mom described to Santa (Sarah's uncle) how the two-year-old was acting. But, when Mom said that Santa wanted to talk to her, she reluctantly took the phone. Sarah's uncle (now pretending to be Santa, in a deepened voice) explained to her how there would be no presents Christmas morning for children who fought with their sisters. He would be watching them closely, he said, and he expected things to be better from now on. Sarah, now even more wide eyed, solemnly nodded to each of Santa's remarks and silently hung the phone up when he was done. After a long moment, Mom (holding in her chuckles at being so clever) asked, "What did Santa say to you, dear?" In almost a whisper, Sarah sadly but matter-of-factly stated, "Santa said he won't be bringing toys to my sister this year."
