Doberman....or reindeer?

At the park today, we had what was one of the most adorable child-encounters ever.

There was a four year old and a two year old, something along those lines, both boys. They were playing with sticks, their parents watching nearby, and the older one noticed Elka and I and waved. I waved back. He just stood and watched. The littler guy, though, started to make a beeline, so the mother got up to intercept. They were still somewhat at a distance, and I'd more or less kept walking.



The smaller boy said something, pointed, and then clearly yelled "Reindeer!" The mother laughed, and the older boy yelled "yeah, Reindeer!"


I said "She kind of looks like a reindeer." The mother shrugged, still laughing.

The older boy said "Thank you for showing us that!"

I said "You're welcome! Merry Christmas?"

Both little boys were all "Yeah! Merry Christmas!"
