It's Christmas time and We asked Tristan eveyday what he wanted for Christmas, and he generally said the same thing,"a yo yo, tank, and a buzz lightyear rocket with (?something I can't remember) In any case I had just come from the bathroom when Tris walked up to me and he had this look on his face like his world just crumbled. He looked up at me and said

Tristan: "Mom, I wish I had my own gum disease."

Mom: "Do you know what that is?"

Tristan: "No, but I want one"
