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, 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, 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, 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 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
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, my 8-year-old daughter was throwing a tantrum, and I said "Keep this up and I'll tell Santa to take your presents back." She told me I don't even know Santa, at which point I accidentally blurted that I'm "Santa". 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, I was talking to my sister about how I need to buy gifts from Santa for my daughter, when my son asked why I would be buying them instead of letting Santa bring them. My son genuinely still believed in Santa. He’s 22 years old. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're an idiot. Why did you lie about who you were on the phone to? You should have said you were talking to a friend.

Don't worry, tell him he'll still get presents regardless if Santa is real or not. I stopped believing in Santa when I was around 6 or 7. I knew something was up when Santa's handwriting was the same as my mother's handwriting. ****** never ate the lemon cookies I left out anyways. Ungrateful ho... ho ho...

-Sniff- This is almost as bad a day when I found out Miley Cyrus was Hannah Montana! And then the day when I found out her name wasn't even Miley!

I don't know what's sadder: That I know this on the top of my head, or my ex boyfriend was the one who [excitedly] told me.
Intellectualist 0
probably the boyfriend... thats a bit gay!

Nah, he's just a bit of a dork. The whole Santa/Christmas thing brings me down. My birthday's December 20th.

Oh, that sucks. Mines in May, when we have exams... I had a maths exam on my birthday, mean bastards :(

Oh wow. That sucks. ): I've only had school on my birthday once, but the trade off is I never really get parties or real gifts, it's always Christmas themed. Or, I get a birthday OR Christmas. The up is, I have three family members with the same birthday, so we do stuff that isn't Christmas-y. My poor brother though, his birthday is December 31st. And he hates fireworks.

Legally Miley Cyrus is Miley Cyrus. She changed it legally. My sister made me look this up so this is how I know.

No court of justice would indulge Destiny Hopes weird name changing obsession, burn the heretic and don't buy her any christmas presents.

I guess it's kind of a good thing she changed her name. To me, Destiny sounds a little bit like a **** star name...but really, who would legally change their name at such a young age? O.o And wouldn't she need her parents' consent?

Yeah, I thought you had to be like 18, but I'm not exactly sure... I changed the spelling of my last name though in a pinch.

When I was like 5 I told my entire kindergarten class how Santa wasn't real :/ I never believed in Santa so I knew all of them were morons lol. This isn't an FML. If he figured it out later, it may have been worse. Don't say Santa exists.. just fess up about the lie -.-

To all the people saying he's real, it's a simple proof of you being 8-12. I've searched, gotten let down, not anymore. I don't even ask for presents from my parents.
