Mommy Booboo

[kuulani]

I wrapped a few presents last night and wrote on the tag "From Santa." Of course, my daughter can read now and asks, "how come Santa brought the presents so early?"

Damn, I forget how sharp this kid is sometimes. So I fumble for my response, "Umm ... he brought them early because he might be too busy on Christmas."

And she says, "Oh, did Dad see him on Mauna Kea?"

*phew* She accepted my response. She believes that Santa lives on Mauna Kea because Mauna Kea has snow on it and that MUST be where the north pole is, and luckily for her, her daddy works up there and sees Santa all the time.

Lucky! That kinda luck won't last long

How old is she, it may be time to tell her the truth about santa... I mean santa is real

my son noticed the wrapping paper on gifts from santa was the same as the gift from us.
We told him santa didn't have time to wrap them so we did it. He didn't buy it.

 

[MrBishop]

Blame it on the reindeer chewing the wrapping.

 

[kuulani]

Ooh, thanks for the heads up about the wrapping ... I better start stashing santa wrapping paper!

My daughter is 6.

I always have one that has little Santas on it, and that's the one Santa brings his stuff wrapped in. The roll gets hidden in the closet for the whole season.

I started wondering what was up when I noticed "Santa" has the same handwriting as my mom... and my mom has very beautiful and distinctive handwriting.

Oh, also, when the wrapping paper question comes up, just say that Santa bought the wrapping paper at the Wal-Mart at the North Pole, just like you bought your paper at the Wal-Mart near you. Easy solution.

omg, she's getting so old already! Remember when Ahiena left that note for Ka'ehu and signed it, "Santa"? She *still* has it! We'll have to do that for Mie real soon.

The signature solution for me was - gifts from me in handwriting. Gifts from Santa in all caps printing.

OMG, that's right Ka'ehu can write her a note *nods*
And just think, when the twins are Mie's age, she can write notes to them from Santa.

Awww.. dontcha just love Christmastime deception?

Jut so long as you don't eat the cookies overnight and cause your kid to wake up and yell "HE'S GONNA LEAVE HE'S GONNA LEAVE HE'S GONNA LEAVE!"

You are the SMARTEST mom in the world!
