Did This Three-Year-Old Girl Meet the Real Santa Claus at a Diner?
[There was a video here]
Three-year-old Gracie Lynn was eating breakfast with her parents at a Bob Evans in Evansville, Ind. this week when she noticed a man dressed as Santa Claus sitting alone in a booth. Not one to leave the bringer of presents to eat alone, she simply walked over and sat down across from him. Her mother told WFIE that the two talked "like they'd known each other for years." What does this little girl know? And was that the real Santa Claus?
Gracie Lynn apparently had two requests for the man in red: 1) That she forsake the doldrums of rural Indiana for the wild living and sparkling wonder of the North Pole with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. 2) No presents, but if he could, have her baby brother James be born. (Her mother's due date is in three weeks.)
WFIE—and this is weird—"tracked Santa down"....to a shopping mall, where he told a reporter that "he's going to have a few surprises for her this year." Just throwing up ideas here, but Gracie Lynn of Evansville, Ind. and Santa Claus might be co-conspirators in a plot to hoard presents.
