Today, I was at lunch with my mom and we were talking about how to tell my brother that Santa Claus isn't real. After we finished our conversation, I heard someone crying. Little did I know, two little kids and their parents were sitting in the booth behind me. FML

Today, I took my kids to the mall to see Santa. While waiting in line, my eldest got bored and loudly complained, "I don't know why we're here. Santa's not even real." I don't think any of the kids within a hundred feet took the news very well. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML
Today, at work, as a camp counselor, I was discussing how stupid the idea of Santa is to a coworker, and how every parent should tell their kids the truthLies. The intercom microphone was on. I single-handedly told a group of 100 six year-olds that Santa isn't real. FML
Today, my little sister came home crying because someone had shown her a video about the Slender Man. Trying to calm her down, I explained to her that he wasn't real, just like Santa Claus. She looked up at me and said "Santa's not real?" It's been 3 hours, and she hasn't stopped crying. FML
Today, on the bus, when I was asking my 6-year-old son what he wanted for Christmas, a stranger came up to us and yelled at him about how Santa Claus is not real, that his "parents are fucking liars" and that he should "never listen to anything one of those fuckers says." FML
Today, while my boyfriend and I were talking with his sister-in-law about a TV show, his 6-year-old nephew walked up just in time to hear how Santa killed the protagonist's parents. I've never seen such a heartbroken face in my life, and now he won't stop asking if Santa kills people. FML
Today, I brought my 6-year-old to the mall to sit on Santa's lap. She told him what she wanted and smiled for the picture. When the lady told her that her turn was over, she began throwing a fit, pulling off Santa's beard in the process. This caused all the kids in line to begin sobbing. FML
Today, my 8-year-old came home from school crying. Apparently her teacher told the whole class to write about how they felt when they learned that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy weren't real. FML
Today, my daughter told my son that Santa is not real. Of course, being a child, he started to cry. My only problem is, my son is 11 and my daughter is 6. FML
Today, I took my 5-year old daughter to get a photo taken with Santa, when she asked the dreaded question of why this Santa looked different from one at the other store. Before I could placate her, some cunt of a kid yelled, "Because he's not real, dumbass!" FML

Soo why are you going to tell your brother that Santa isn't real? Aren't people supposed to figure that out on their own?

Why would you need to tell them? let him believe as long as he wants to believe. Eventually he'll find out on his own.

Why not let him find out for himself? And if your discussing something like this, why not look around? I don't think this is a "FML" ... for you anyways. Poor kids!

Why the hell are people saying kids should find out on their own? Not all kids are smart enough to figure it out. That's how we get 12 year olds who still believe in Santa. If you want to let your kids believe in Santa you should tell them before they go to school and look like morons in front of the other kids. On a related note: **** Christmas, **** Santa, **** "family time," and most of all **** Christmas music.

This comes from somebody who lives on the other half of the planet. When I was little I knew kids out there believe in this cuddly looking guy in red who supposedly brings them gifts on Christmas if they have been good all year, of course that guy didn't really exist and it was just their parents and I knew that but whatever it was a cute concept. I don't really think there's anything wrong in having little make-belief fantasy concepts but some of them should also be made as a family. For example, my dad would throw his shoe at the sky along with this crystal drop( extras that came with the chandelier) and tell me he's getting me a star. Now when I know better it's like whenever I think of this I smile and feel affection for my parents. It's kind of simpler this way, even if you know Santa isn't real and it was your parents all along Santa would still be this 1st thing you think of when you think about Christmas and presents.

I think that is absolutely adorable. And I agree.

Congratulations for solving the problem for those other kids' parents. And I agree it's best to let the kids' slowly come to the realization on their own that the stuff they're being told makes no sense and is all some kind of conspiracy by adults just to **** with their kids. It's good practice for when people start telling them about God.
