In all fairness, the kid is probably melting down over the bad art on the stone. I know that was my reaction. ---

I laughed out loud. But then I probably would have laughed even if it was my own kid. Iā€™m a bad mommy. ---

Iā€™d only find that funny if it read ā€œRudolphā€. Although, on the other hand, since Rudolph is not a real reindeer, like the others, it wouldnā€™t make sense. ---

Iā€™m a PIA, because I am wondering why 2000? why 1864, come to that. And I keep wondering if this wasnā€™t a stunt dreamed up by a fundamentalist church in 2000ā€“as a way to kill off the commercialization of Christmas once and for all. After that, I kinda smiled. And that is one ugly tombstoneā€“Iā€™d roll in my grave if it were mine. Perhaps the kid is crying because he heard Santa from the grave saying heā€™s coming to get whoever gave him the monument! ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > Iā€™m a PIA, because I am wondering why 2000? why 1864, come to that. WAG as to the 1836 ā€“ because it features in some of the St. Nick folklore (Alabama making Christmas as legal holiday that year) or the Photoshop user mucked things up by reversing the year Thomas Nast apparently started his _Harperā€™s Weekly_ illustrations of Santa - 1863. And WAG as to the 2000 ā€“ because perhaps thatā€™s how old the pic is. > [@](#): > > _Orig. by kittenblue._ > Be fair, some of the best jokes are old jokes. I am being fair. It was an intro to the Snopes thread link, from 2002, discussing the same pic. And where they appreciated it just as much as you folks. ---

I laughed my arse off (and had to go get it, that made for a very interesting chase at the libraryā€¦) Am I going to be a bad mother now? ---
