completely irrelevant but it just popped up on my fb memories so here

The person who discovered lizards can grow their tails back must have been feeling crazy as fuck. Like who would believe that if you just happened to be the first person to notice it?

saaame. I always thought I was a bad kid because santa never brought me shit. i decided over the past few days that I'm not gonna do the santa thing with kiddo. I mean we'll pretend but I'm not gonna act like he's real

Growing up, my best friends mom told her santa only brings 1 present, and any kids who got more than one from santa had liars for parents. I knew santa wasn't real so it was even funnier to me.

Just make sure he knows to not share that secret when he goes to school!

Totally fine with people not pretending Santa is real with their kids. But I hated it when I heard another kid at my son's school saying, "My mom and dad say Santa isn't real and your parents are lying to you."

(This was in grade school. Kid is in high school now and, well, that shit will just happen at that age if a high schooler still believes, lol!)

(Also, side note, to this day my mom has never admitted Santa isn't real.)

I almost didn't do the whole Santa thing with my son but my fiance wanted to so I let him have it lol

lol! I don't think I'm gonna tell him they're liars, just that it's another way to play pretend, I guess? I dunno yet.

oh yeah, definitely gonna tell him not to ruin it for other kids! I just remember how it felt when I was kid and all these other kids were getting tons of toys from santa and I...wasn't. I don't want kiddo to think that just because he doesn't get as much stuff as other kids means he's bad, ya know?

I almost didn't do the whole Santa thing with my son but my fiance wanted to so I let him have it lol

lol! part of me wants to, but once he starts drawing connections/comparisons between what he gets and what other kids get, idk it just makes me worry

I am 33 years old. My oldest brother will be 50 next year. My mother REFUSES to tell us how she and my dad got our presents under the tree during midnight mass one year. Refuses. Obviously it was probably a neighbor? Cousins? I'll never know b/c the woman insists it was friggen Santa.

She was kind of a drunk, if that puts it into perspective a little more. Definitely not the best way to put it, but even 6 or 7 year old me had a hard time not bursting out in laughter at it.

lmao! that's so cute. My parents used to hide the neighbor kids' presents in our garage because apparently they were masterminds at finding them

 

[DareAngel3]

I tried doing the Neil deGrasse Tyson thing with my kids and not confirming or denying Santa, just vague "Oh, I have heard people mention that before." But it backfired and now my almost-five year old just thinks I'm an idiot. "Mom, Santa IS real! He's right there! You can SEE him!" And since he can read, now, I guess he's going to see Santa's name on his presents in my handwriting and he can figure that out himself
