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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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.

Your friend is a bitch. Tell her no one loves her, and grow up. It's probably true.

Your friend is kind of an asshole, but you are too because you felt the need to lie to a child. So I guess it's a good match.

YDI for lying to your son about who you were talking to on the phone. It wouldn't have been a big deal if you just said, "a friend." But FYL because your friend is a real dick. It's called childhood fun, and who cares if it isn't real? Just because you have to be an uptight miserable asshole doesn't mean you have to spoil it for everyone else.

To anyone saying "your kid" - read again. OP says it's her nephew. Which means, as someone said above, that it's not her call to tell the kid Santa doesn't exist. And like #56 said, it's a great way to make kids behave. That's probably why she said she was talking to Santa. I've seen kids who were acting up until their mom got out her phone and said "I'm calling Santa!" She then proceeded to tell "Santa" that the kids were misbehaving, and to tell the kids that Santa said they have to behave if they want presents. Boy, did they shape up quick.

Phillyfox: it's the OPs NEPHEW, not her son. Suaveneanderthal: stfu OP: You really shouldn't have lied to your nephew, but your friend shouldn't have said that either.
