Ho, Ho, Ho: The Wholesome, Inappropriate and Wild Requests Mall Santas Have Heard from Kids

This is a friendly reminder to parents that little kids see and hear everything. Even if you don’t think they’re paying attention, we promise you that they are. The poor mall Santa in this story was faced with a super awkward request from a little girl who had no idea what she was actually asking for.

She asked Santa for one of the “colorful floppy swords” that her mom had in her room. We’ll let you jump to your own conclusions about what that “colorful floppy sword” actually was. We have no idea what this mall Santa said in response, but he deserves a raise for navigating this awkward situation. Adults need to put away their toys just as much as kids do.
