What if Santa Clause wasn't real

One day somethin' happens and a little kid asks an adult, "Is Santa real?" The adult reassures, "Yes Santa is real, your not". -You think that would mess a kid up?

 

if it was an imaginary kid, it might be just what they need.

 

well, no. i mess with my kids' heads all the time. they're very thick-skinned and wry now. they don't believe everything they're told, thank god. my mother always considered it her sacred duty to fuck with the head of any child she meets, it makes them more sane. i'm carrying the torch. it confuses my mother in law a little, though. she's very grounded.

 

Kids like being fucked with.

Round of peekaboo, anyone?

 

I've been telling my 20 year old she was born with a tail. I started when she was 12 and to this day she hasn't completely made up her mind that I'm messing with her. She's gone as far as trying to find out how to get her medical records from when she was born. I love messing with my kids.

 

nice. the no-fail mind-fuckery my mom loves is telling very small children that their heart is behind their belly-button. she'll say "where's your heart?" and the kid will point to their belly button and their mother will get pissed. so maybe it's also adult-child mind-fuckery.
