I remember her.

I liked her.

I got her the dog she gave

to Farley for Christmas.

Athletically, Farley

excels as a swimmer.

Academically, his best

grades are in science.

KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK!

Come in!

Quick question before

we sign the papers.

Would you like to join

Adam and me for dinner?

I'm an

excellent cook.

We would love to.

Great, I'll set two more

places at the table.

Thank you.

Dinner's ready,

Sir.

Thanks, William.

Is my dad back

from San Francisco?

The conference went

longer than he expected.

He will be back for my

science fair, won't he?

I can't wait to show him

what I've been working on.

He assured me

he wouldn't miss it.

Okay.

Hello, Adam.

Welcome. Adam, we're having

guests tonight for dinner.

Why don't you come

in and wash up.

I'll help.

I can do it myself!

Adam doesn't

like that.

I want to put in a wheelchair

ramp to make it easier for him,

but with all the medical bills I barely

have enough to pay the mortgage.

Since the accident,

that's where Adam sleeps.

It was a utility room, as you

can see it's really small.

He used to

stay upstairs?

I tried carrying him up and down the

stairs for a while but he just got upset.

Eventually I just decided

it was easier to

move everything down

to the first floor.

We never know all the

things that are going to

cause us problems,

until we have the problems.

That's for sure.

Hungry?

Yes.

Adam, you've hardly said

anything all dinner.

Adam's a little shy

around new people.

Are you excited

about Christmas?

Have you asked Santa

what you want?

I don't believe in Santa.

He's just a fairytale.

Really?

Fairytales don't prepare

you for the real world.

I think there are a lot of

children' literature teachers

who would disagree

with you on that.

Well, as a teacher, I don't

think it's healthy to

fill a child's head

with misinformation.

And I'm bothered that he's always

portrayed as fat and Caucasian.

Santa represents all that's

best in the human heart,

what he looks like on the

outside doesn't matter.

Maybe Santa looks like whatever the

children want him to look like.

Yes.

Tell me, Mr. Frost,

do you think Santa exists?

I believe Santa exists as long as

there are people who believe in him.

Well I'll believe that when

I meet him face to face.

Oh, ho ho.

Anyone for dessert?

Yes!

How 'bout some

milk and cookies?

I'll have whatever

anyone doesn't finish.

I've been thinking about my

whole responsibility in this

gimmie gimmie syndrome, and

Constance may have a point.

I should see what

I can do about this.

You sure you have

time to do that?
