Thanks. I don?t think that people understood the child was drugging Santa.
Fun write-up.
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
Geez Louise! Part of me thinks what a clever kid, another part thinks, what about the other kids and their gifts? Anyhoo, I guess if he can suspend time to make it around the world and to every home in 12 hours he can miss a few hours sleeping. But, I bet he is wise to it! Good story. Karen

None of my Santa stuff does well. Hmmmm. Not cutesy enough? Regardless, I liked this one. D
Comment from Wayne Fowler
So Santa will eat the cookies, drink the milk, and fall asleep in the sleigh?
Not real sure he had the scenario all planned out. Whoever thought santa would want warm milk, anyway?
Best wishes.

Ah the minds of kids. Maybe I didn?t have it planned out neither. This was a flop, but a fun one.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Haha! What a great, original post! I enjoyed this clearly expressed short story which said everything necessary so succinctly. Mystery could hopefully soon be solved. Though how he's going to have the energy to get back up the chimney to his sled, goodness only knows! Well done and good luck! Debbie

Comment from Rachelle Allen
OMG!! Little Jimmy is going on Santa's Naughty List for the remainder of his freakin life!! Great flash fiction; I for SURE did not see THAT ending coming! It's a standout of a piece, and I bet it will do great at the polls. Good luck. xo

Flopping! Thought a Christmas piece would do well. Still a fun write.

That's okay; these stupid contests are so rigged it's not even funny. It doesn't reflect on you at all OR this adorable piece. xo

I know. I honestly see them
as being just for fun. Have a very Happy Season!!!!

You're so smart to have that attitude!
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
sleeping pills in milk? not a great idea for sure. I'd rather put a child to sleep by lying down on the bed with him or reading a book. He was excited for Santa as it was Christmas Eve.

The child was knocking out Santa to see who he really is.
Comment from bhogg
Cute story. I didn't count the words, but assume you met the contest criteria. Devilish little fellow to do the sleeping pills. A good thing he didn't add Ducolax! Good luck in your contest. I reserved a spot, had to leave and didn't get back in time to enter!

Ow! Sorry you wasted the site bucks. Fun contest!
Comment from Julie Helms
Somebody is getting put on the naughty list for that! That is the exact type of thing my daughter would've done if she had thought of it. Very sweet story until the twist and then it's funny! Enjoyed. Have a merry Christmas!

What a clever little kid! (or sneaky, or conniving, or cunning - however you want to look at it.) :) This is a cute tale with a very interesting twist. Thanks for the share!
