I recently took my kids to see Santa. My youngest clung to me like I was trying to throw her off a cliff as soon as she saw him. It made me realize that warming up to Santa can take some time. I found this picture online that really proves my point. Can you blame them? They are being forced to sit on the lap of a flamboyantly dressed old man who they don't even know. It takes years of presents to condition kids to look forward to this.
and then they're sad when they've out grown him....just ask my 11 year old.
ReplyDeleteI love pictures of kids crying. That seems so unlike me, I know.
ReplyDeleteThat pic is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cute!
ReplyDeleteFunny! My boys have always been totally drawn to the guy. Even as little ones. I think it is because we told them he brings them free crap.
ReplyDeleteyup. That parent just cost themselves years of therapy.
