    This is just one of the many questions I asked my mam about Santa when I was young. She told me Santa only comes to children who believe in him and that the kids in Africa don't.

    What other questions did you ask your parents about Santa and how did they answer them?

    Also, how stupid were we? :pac:

    Yer mom's racist! Eh I don't actually remember asking that when I was younger, I just assumed he did. I was more curious about how he delivered the toys to them since most don't have chimneys..

    My mam told me that santa gives everyone in the world presents, your mother however is a racist! Let me guess, your mother told you that santa gives them AIDS instead

    I asked if Santa and God were friends and did he visit him in heaven when he wasn't busy. My mam said yes, as if she'd know.
    Couldn't wait to tell my school chums the next day.

    That doesn't look like a child in Africa, more like an African American. Far too plump. YOU LIE!!
