Swarte Pete??

So, as a family we celebrate Dutch Christmas. That includes a visit from Sinta Claus on Dec. 6th and putting out our shoes to get a treat. Well, Sinta Claus has a helper named Swarte Pete. The story is that if a kid is bad Swarte Pete will put them in a big sack and take them back with him to Spain to work as slaves. Well, Ammon has had a lot of questions about exactly how bad you need to be, where is Spain, how did he get his name, ect. I finally got tired of all his Swarte Pete questions and told him to ask Oma. (my mom) He quickly replied, "Why did he take HER away in his bag?"
