Kim Dundee's Mini Me
Picture it Sicily present day, your 5…….. and a half, its ever so important that half when your five, you set off to see Santa.
Now a bit of background information that pertains to this story. As you are all adults reading this you know the story of Santa. Big, fat, jolly, red fella who hangs out with reindeers and can be found from late November (god for bid, how early do we have to start each year!!!) to the 24th of December in your local shopping centres and anywhere there may be a social gathering of kids. He then disappears to be only seen through the night skies going from rooftop to rooftop on Christmas Eve. As there is a great need for Santa at each of these venues he has to recruit stunt doubles.
In steps my uncle, Keith. Recommend by a golfing mate he recently attended Santa School. Uncle Keith has all the attributes for the making of a good Santa double. Back groud info on Uncle Keith is that he is a retired highly successful and talented Engineer of some discipline of where he spent most of his time in Alice Springs the other major town of the Northern Territory. So, he has a pudge that any great food and beer lover would be proud of (I just mentioned that he lived in the Territory for some years), a white beard (back to white now after giving up smoking some years ago), red face (think that is a family skin trait), time on his hands (he is retired) and a jolly outlook on life - and who the hell wouldn’t being retired and not having to go to work everyday!
Now my lovely niece, who I admit has me wrapped around her finger, and from what people say, slightly resembles me in looks but definitely in attitude, sets off with her mum to Myers to ask Santa all of those crucial questions. She interviewed Santa for several minutes on; how did he get there and where did he park the sleigh and what was his name. However you can be certain that she would have finished her interrogation with the question, arising after many threats from her parents of “Santa, define good?”
Although her mum told her that she knows "Santa" very well, that Tyler might know who he is if she looked closely... She kept asking mum who he was and her answer was "It's Santa, who else would it be".
Though walking out to the car they paused, turned and had a look on the roof of Myer's to see if they could see the Reindeer and Sleigh. Of which they did. Although most of us would call the black thing sticking up off of the roof some sort of air-conditioning infrastructure, but Tyler informed her mum that it was Santa's seat at the back of the sleigh which was all that they could see.
Travelling home in the car a comment was made by the interrogator "Mummy, Santa sounded like Keith, you know, Keith and Heather."
