with all the snowfall we've had recently in the elevated hills (can't say mountains having seen taos last march) of western pennsylvania, our local ski resort opened and i taught my initial lessons today. i was one on one with a 6 year-old girl named emily who already knew how to ski, so we worked on jack-in the-box turns to help move her into parallel skiing.
and so, when we rode the chairlift together we chatted for she was very talkative, eager to tell me the five items on her christmas letter to santa. when we reached number three on our third ride, she told me it was a "dolphin item."
i queried further, not quite understanding what she meant. she got serious and thought introspectively for a moment, and then looked at me through the blond wisps framing her red-cheeked face.
"do you think elves can make t-shirts?" she asked.
