The best part is that this ACTUALLY happened.
Scene 1
Child lays sprawled across work table.
Adult: Okay, Billy, I'm going to count to 3, and you need to be off that table.....1......2......3.
Child doesn't move. Adult ignores child and works around him. Adult eventually tires and tries another strategy. Thinks to herself that she'll be leaving soon, so she doesn't mind lying to Billy.
Adult: So Billy....I've never told you this before........but I'm Santa's helper.
Child's eyes open wide.
Billy: Really?
Adult: Yes. ANd do you know what this week is, Billy?
Billy doesn't respond, trying to appear disinterested.
Adult: This week is when we report to Santa about all the children. I need to send a letter to Santa about you, Billy. And actually, the other day, he was JUST asking about you.
Billy still lays sprawled. Adult goes to bag to get a piece of paper and a marker.
Starts to write: "Dear Santa, I saw Billy this week."
Billy peeks over. Recognizes his name.
Billy: What does that say? What does that say?
They read it together. Billy finally gets down to work.
Suddenly, Billy stops working. Adult takes out marker and uncaps it very deliberately. Billy pauses and sees the marker poised over the letter. Goes back to work.

Okay, WHO goes around telling misbehaving children that they are Santa's helper?! Ahahahahaa.
