Riley: Why don’t poor kids get gifts from Santa?

Riley is bringing in her first book report tomorrow. I think she read 10 books trying to find the perfect book for her report.
I think she’s going to do King Tut for the second, unless she finishes Helen Keller tonight than I’m sure it’s going to be an epic conundrum deciding which to do.
I love this kid – she a drama queen of a different sort.
