There was only one obvious conclusion to reach from this mountain of evidence: our family was too strange and weird for even Santa Claus to come visit, and my poor parents were trying to protect us from the embarrassment, this humiliation of rejection by Santa, who was jolly -- but let's face it, he was also very judgmental.
Postoji samo jedan očit zaključak iz te hrpe dokaza: naša obitelj je bila previše neobična i čudna čak i za Djeda Mraza, i moji siroti roditelji su nas pokušavali zaštititi od srama, poniženja zbog odbacivanja Djeda, koji je bio veseo. No, priznajmo, bio je također vrlo kritičan.
