Lies

By Anonymous - 17/07/2009 00:14 - United States

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

Teaching kids about Santa is good. Because they inevitably find out that their blind belief in something is moronic. If they remember this lesson when they're a bit older, they avoid getting caught up in religious nonsense.

Good job, you single-handedly taught those kids that everyone is a liar and to trust no one. This is one of the most important lessons anyone will ever learn. @ #138 your a dumbass

You're really sad, you know that? Kids under the age of 13 don't even get to act like kids anymore. Look around you, their all growing up too fast. It's really friggin sad when a kid isn't even aloud to believe in a fairy tale. Yeah, I'll admit, it's babyish and all, but just stop and think. Most kids don't have time to just be a kid. They're too worried about growing up, and having all the latest technology, that they just don't worry about having fun anymore. It's really sad. Sure, I'm into all of that too, and I like being online and having a phone, and all of that, but when I was younger I was more happy with being outside and having fun. I'm really tired of watching kids give up their one time to have fun, and be a kid, so they can grow up fast. Stop being a jerkface, and let other people believe what they want. It's not a lie, it's part of growing up. Weather kids believe it or not, all depends on how big their imagination is. Plus, if parents stopped the whole thing about Santa, what would be the point of like.. any of the christmas celebrations anymore?

You're stupid. Kids can be kids without being lied to. That lie doesn't make them to go outside. Also, you need to realize that your memories are skewed. You weren't as happy as you think you were. That's exactly where that whole nostalgy thing comes from. Humans tent to idealize the past times, the farther back, the better. Stop being an asshole that lies to kids

How is this an FML, didn't you get what you wanted? Thanks to you, all those kids now know that Santa is a lie and their dreams can be crushed. I would think you'd be happy.

there is no reason to ruin a kid's childhood, let them believe as long as they can before they begin Christmases by drinking.

Christmas was originally a pagan holiday way before christ was born. The Christians took their holiday away from the pagans. Yule tide (the pagan holiday) is the reason we have yule logs, the delicious cake that many people enjoy during christmas. I have nothing against christians or anyone religious. I am atheist and I celebrate christmas. Christmas is more than just the religious aspect. Its about families gathering together and celebrating life. Santa Clause is a figure that just helps fill children with wonder and delight.
