The Non-Conformist

The boy came home with another Christmas project today. His class made a reindeer using a cutout of their footprint for the head and using cutouts of their handprint for the antlers. The boy finished his reindeer off with two different sized googly eyes, and a blue nose.

I asked him if it was “Bruno the Blue nosed reindeer” but the boy said he didn’t have a name for it. Then he said “Just because Rudolph is famous, everyone thinks you’re supposed to copy him. But you can make any kind of reindeer, right?”

I love the unquestioned existence of Rudolph in his statement.
