Hi, my name is Brandon and I respond to good writing with inappropriate humor.

Some people blog. Some people share tables and break bread. Some people do both. You really are a gem, Jenny and this was beautifully done. Also, I second what Vivian said. (About the friendship, I mean. I know about the fountain.)

Bring both pies.
Of course… I like pie.

I do believe in Santa, I really do!

Too often young people don’t really see older people; they look right through them. I’m positive that your honest conversation with her really made her day!
(Yes, Virginia…there is a Santa.)

She’s gonna get clobbered! You should have ended with — and here’s my phone number in case things get nasty.
No seriously, a beautiful story. Perfect especially for this time of the year. I hate that people don’t think it’s right to pause in December. Too much of a treadmill (referring back to your previous post on gyms. Say, btw, how is that going?).

Aside from making me smile, your comments have made me wonder as to the actual contents of a mincemeat pie, so I started doing some research.
Dude. There’s really meat in mincemeat pie! I thought that was just the name! Meat and chopped up fruit. How ’bout I just bring some headcheese for xmas, too? Mmm… gelatinous.

I think it says a lot about you that you can do both very well.

I’m sure you brought some sunshine into her day!
