As Fake as It Gets
Sitting on Santa’s lap and telling him what they want for Christmas is a favorite holiday tradition for some kids. Personally, I don’t get the appeal of sitting on a stranger’s lap at the mall – but I guess this has to do with truly believing Santa is real. That way, you’re not just sitting on a stranger’s lap – you’re confiding in Santa!
So this must be one of the worst moments to find out that Santa isn’t real. That’s what happened to this person. Back when he was a kid, a friend at the Santa line at the mall told him that Santa was fake, and in order to prove he was real, this kid decided to pull on his beard. The fake bead came off, and the jig was up. Maybe he should have invested in a better costume!
