I told my son that Santa is watching him.
It felt very weird, but I just couldn't stop myself. He told me he wanted the Candyland Castle game. I told him that maybe Santa would get it for him for Christmas, but that Santa only brings presents to good little boys. I told him that Santa can see him all the time, so he better stop biting, hitting and swearing if he wants Santa to bring him his game.

Was that terribly wrong?

8. Good for you!
My son is a loving, smart, thoughtful 3-year-old, but he has some challenges. I'll try anything at this point.

5. Old school fear
Hehe.. it's worked for years and probably was all created for that reason. Only you know what is wrong to tell your son. My daughter thought you added water to raisins to make grapes for a few years. I didn't have the heart to tell her she heard me wrong. It was cute.

:hi:

12. That is cute.
I did feel like I was getting one over on him. He believes everything I say, poor little guy. But I hope it works!

7. Not wrong. Easiest parenting in the world is during December.
"Santa saw that"
"I'm going to call Santa"
"That probably caused you to slip to the naughty list"

Makes parenting a breeze.

2 years ago, I wrapped up a lump of coal and addressed it to myself from Santa. My daughters laughed and laughed, they thought it was great that Santa had me on the naughty list.

14. That's a good one!
I think my husband probably qualifies for the naughty list!
