this is my last day at work...pardon me while I wipe the tear of joy running down my cheek.I'll be back on the twelfth and so will The Tower.
But before I go, happy happy for the rest of the year and let me leave you with a short story.
A friend of mine from Zim (for context: she is black) told me a story of their visit to Santa at the Meikles Hotel in Harare. The store manager thought he would be more sensitive to the demographics of the country and hired a black Santa. My friend and her brother where told by their parents that they would be going to see Santa so they could tell him what they wanted for Christmas. So of course they were delighted and headed off excitedly to Meikles. When they got there she said that when they saw Santa they where not impressed. They protested heavily that that could never be Santa because Santa is white and not black. My friend said she remembered this vividly because as far as she was concerned this was the biggest scam of the century.
I like kids, they think on a higher level than adults do.
