Noah! Noah!

We were in the store the other day and I was looking at little gift sets for my MOPS moms and O started saying "Noah! Noah!"  I have to admit that I was like "oh yes" and kept looking at what I was looking at.  But my little girl is persistent even when I don't give her my full attention and said a little louder(yes, almost yelling level) "Noah, Momma, Noah!"  So I look to see what she is pointing at and it's a little box of candies(thankfully she didn't know that!) with a picture of Santa Claus on it.  It took a brief second for me to connect that she thought Santa Claus was Noah! How do you respond to that? 'No, that's a made up character that brings you presents at Christmas which is really Jesus' birthday, not Noah who was a real person who lived long ago.'??  So I took the chicken way out and was like "Really?  How exciting!" which seemed to work for the time being.  Now I need to figure out how we are going to handle this Santa thing.  It was easier when she didn't talk. :)
