I don't remember when I figured it out--I guess I was about 8. But that Christmas, after my brother & I had opened our presents from "Santa" my mom asked us--while we were still sitting around the tree--if we knew who Santa really was. We said we did, but I always thought it was weird timing on my mom's part to tell us on Christmas day. I mean, if I hadn't know, I think I would have been sort of upset. I probably would have waited until the next year rolled around. | |

I was 8 Santa wore my dad's red pyjamas and all he brought for my dad was a packet of smokes, while my dad took an incredibly long shower Santa left your dad a gift? 
I found out when my parents accidentally left part of the price tag on one of my brother's gifts. I emphatically presented the evidence to all the older relatives in the house that day. I was so proud of myself. yeah, but it was only cigarettes, I felt very sorry for my dad 
you're such a dobber!!! I kept my suspicions to myself, fearing if I let on that I knew, my parents would be so relieved they didn't have to continue with the charade anymore and that would be the end of christmas as I knew it!! I didn't even tell my little sister, cause she would dob on me. | |

I remember I was so proud when I got my period when I was 11 and told everybody in my family .OMG  omg you have just reminded me of something horrible we did when my sister was about 11. She got a nose bleed and it wouldn't stop, so she put a jar under her nose to catch the drips, then I got the evillest idea to write on the jar "Lisa's first period" and we put it in the freezer, for my mum to find, months later. | |

Pffft. I don't get you Christians, telling your kids about all kinds of fiction characters sneaking in at night to their rooms to bring them stuff.
We tell it as it is. "I bought you this with all the money I had. You better appreciate it, you little shit!" | |
