Re: When did you stop believing in Santa?

When I was awoken by noise from the lounge & snuck downstairs hoping to see Santa eating his mince pie and Rudolph eating his carrot and instead saw him shagging mum. Cheeky git didn't even leave me my dream Johnny 7 machine gun after he'd emptied his sacks

Aged 7. A schoolfriend told me, but I wasn't upset. Think I just felt like I was in on the secret.

well I know that her friend who is 10 has told her Santa isn't real, I just think she still likes the thought that he is.

I never knew that the inflatable boat I had on holiday had just been replaced by Dad when it got a hole. He told me he'd had it laser-sealed so I wouldn't see the damage.

You didn't realise that the boat was gone and instead you were afloat on your dad? I know you said he was a bit big, but...

And you said kids were stupid?

That took how long to think up?

Madness how you can write something meaning one thing for someone else to (deliberately here, but good example) read it as if you mean something entirely different.

I negotiate contracts for a living. I'm never suprised at how people manage to twist words into meanings that were never contemplated, are out of context, and that you couldn't possibly imagine if you sat on a stone for three years (which is an equally obtuse Japanese proverb).

Maybe it was the shame.

Proverb - even if you sat on a stone for three years you wouldn't work it out?
