Letter to Santa
In 1993, Argyle still had a free weekly community paper, The Argyle Sun. Each Christmas they ran letters to Santa from the kids. Some children conveniently numbered each item on their lists, but a boy named Jimmy didn’t. The Sun still printed the entire 30-item list, in all caps, with the plurals attached by apostrophes.
Sam was only 6 years old when he “mailed” this letter at the Argyle Post Office and it later appeared in the Sun:
Dear Santa
My nam is SamW. I would likem more
Thank You

Sam: I think Jack Ruby overdid it.
Peggy: Yes. Yes, he did.
Overheard in the Wolfe House #251
Sam (as contestant solves the puzzle, “The sixth sense of direction,” on Wheel of Fortune): I don’t think that should’ve been a Before-and-After.
Peggy: Why not?
Sam: Because when you have a sixth sense, it’s usually a sense of direction.
Overheard in the Wolfe House #250
Sam (seeing an email address found via gmail search): Do you know how to export that contact?
Peggy: Can’t I just write it down for you on a piece of paper?
Overheard in the Wolfe House #249
Peggy: On the way to bringing you your lunch, I saw a landspout.
Sam: I saw that too! It freaked me out!
Peggy: What did you do?
Sam: I ran back into the store.
Peggy: Did anyone else go outside to see it?
Sam: A few. They couldn’t see it. (pause) I guess that’s the first tornado we’ve ever seen.
