santa is a janitor

I got a late call yesterday to sub at the pre-school. These kitties are three and four years old and qualify because of low income. They stay all day, interact with other kids and get to play with some pretty cool toys.
 I missed breakfast but I saw him at lunch.
First the white, curly beard and hair sticking out from under a gray baseball cap immediately caught my eye. Stocky built and short stature, yes, that's a nice way to say he would fit in a red Santa suit. He was the cleaner upper, and believe me, with ninety plus kids eating chili and chocolate milk, he was a busy man. But he was grinning all the while and you could tell that he really liked his job. Oh, his name was Roger, but that could be an alias!
