My Father Was An April Fool ~ Monday April 3, 2023
My Father was born on April Fools Day. Our relationship was rocky. Dad wanted things his way because he was the father. I know this because he told me. I wanted things my way because I was the daughter. He knew that because I told him. We drew our lines in the sand, and we waited for the other to blink. For me it was very simple. My father was usually wrong, and I was right.
Tulis, This is lovely and fun. Thanks and Merry Christmas or should we say Santamas? My parents were atheists, as I am, but they sent me to Catholic school, Holy Cross on W 43rd, theater district. So, my relationship to Jesus and Santa is interesting. Christmas was very big in our atheist house, even had a nativity, which I still have and put under my tree Santa topped tree every year. Best to you in 2023. Constance

Virginia O’Hanlon was 8 years old when she wrote the Sun asking that question about Santa. So to 8 year-old Tulis and Tulis of a certain age… Yes, Tulis there is a Santa Claus… you betcha!
Oh my. I had forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder!
Hilarious and magical,Tulis! I saw you perform this in person, and it is every bit as magical here.
Merci yoooo
Hi Tulis,
Like another who commented, I have seen you do an earlier version of this musing; new and improved version even better!
Thanks for the nod!
