At least he's honest.
My kids are so excited about Christmas. This year the twins finally have a better grasp of the concept of the big fat man in a red suit so they won't stop asking about him. Z started making up stories about what Santa will be bringing him this year and how his stocking will be stuffed to the heavens with toys.
Of course, just like any manipulative parent, I have used Santa as a toll gate to good behavior.
Z: Mommy! I'll have lots of presents! Like Power Rangers and Little Einsteins and a guitar and cars!
Me: Okay. But you know Santa only gives gifts to good little boys and girls. Have you been a good boy?
*Little Z thinks hard for a few seconds*
Z: Not yet, but I'll do it later.
