Miles requested Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer tonight as his Saturday night video.
We own it. We watch it every couple of months.

I happened by the TV when Hermey was just about to get canned for failing to meet productivity standards.

What's happening? I asked Miles.

"The big elf, the teacher, said 'Finish the toys or you're on fire!' "

"Oh," I corrected, "You're fired."

What means fired? Miles asked. I told him it meant it was time for Hermey to find a job he likes. Perhaps he'd be happier as a dentist, I suggested.

"A dancer," Miles corrected me. "Hermey wants to be a dancer."
