Parents: How old were your kids when they stopped believing in Santa? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

KissMyGrits · 11-28-2007, 11:29 AM

Chris is 10 and still believes in Santa. My husband and I encourage this. Kids grow up so fast these days, that we want him to hang on to some childhood beliefs.

I know there will come a day that he will stop believing, but I hate to think about that day.

I forced my mom at the age of 8 to tell me there wasn't no santa because it was adding up-lol I was smart enough to know that he could not go to every house all over the world in one night and my mom just came out and said-"OK THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SANTA!! I was asking too many questions and she just got tired of lying

I never married or had any kids, but I found out when I was about six or
seven--from my nephew (who is about nine months younger than me).
I'll never forget that, after he had told me there was no Santa, he hastily
added: "But there IS an Easter Bunny!"

Santa's not real?

when I found out I was trying to convince my two yiunger cousins there was no santa clause and when I tried to do it my grandmom would say-"I will knock you out of that chair if you tell them that"

lol

Tell a kid there is no Santa? I can't think of a more spiteful, ignorant thing to do to a child. So many hopes and dreams hinge on that one idea. So many beautiful stories come from that one story.

I, myself, still believe in Santa. And there's not a man alive who could convince me otherwise.

Solomon!!!!!

Seriously, you need to start jotting your observations and things you've done down and make a sitcom. You could so out-Seinfeld Seinfeld with some of the things you've said and done

There could be sitcom like Everybody Likes Chris, except the characters are his mom, his grandmom and Solomon. The premise of the show is abt a man who tries to find love online, gripes abt the workplace, chats on a "message board" and how his grandmom and mom play a part in his life. A little sass, a little drama, mix in some Good Times, the Jeffersons, some What's Happening and of course, good ol' Sanford and Son.

Hey, ^^^^ that is MY IDEA!!!! Remember that.

they could even copy the early Sex And The City episodes where Carrie would pose a question on her computer and then random people on the street would answer the question. Couldn't you see Solomon typing "would you eat a pie from the supermarket? on the computer and cutting to a bunch of people on the street answering the question
