I couldnt even teach my son avout santa clause because it felt like lying, I dont lie to my kid okay?

however

when youre the parent to toddlers, yes, sometimes mcdonalds is closed randomly in the afternoon, and sometimes snacks they dont need are spicy.

toddlers dont understand reason

now as they ger older this doesnt work, and you have to explain we aint got mcdonalds money and ive dinner planned, or I bought you your own snack and you already ate it, I bought this for me.
