Tis the season…for the perpetual lies we have to tell our kids in order to maintain peace and harmony on Christmas. We as parents should feel like hypocrites. We're persistently are telling our kids not to lie, but we come up with some far fetched story about a fat guy in a red suit coming down the chimney or that reindeer fly. How about this line of crap I fed my kid tonight…..
“Mom, how does Santa know what I’m doing all the time?” my inquisitive 7 year old asks.
Thinking to myself…oh shit here we go again, I respond with, “Well, I call Santa and tell him.”
With a puzzled look on his face his next words were, “I have never heard you talk on the phone to Santa.”
Holding back laughter at this point I collectively say, “Well Santa has a Facebook and every night after you go to bed I IM him.”
Yeap that’s right folks…Santa Clause has Facebook and I’m a hypocrite.
