The cashier asked if this was a gift as I paid for it.I told her about Jimmy.
That night I left it gift-wrapped on Jimmy’s front porch.
Later I discovered the receipt in my pocket... $ 39.95.

After school one day I told my mother that a kid said there was no Santa. She told me that was an old rumor and she would show me differently. She gave me $20 and sent me into Walmart. I thought of the boy who sat behind me in class and didn’t go to recess for lack of a jacket.
