My sister-in-law showed me this yesterday. [A 10-Month-Old’s Letter to Santa](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/raquel-dapice/10-month-olds-letter-to-santa_b_4427512.html). As the parent of an 11-month-old, I think this list is hilarious. Especially #1 and #4. 🙂 ---

I clicked the link with some trepidation, thinking “this will probably be cloyingly sweet, dumb, or both.” But I found it quite funny and on the mark, even as the parent of a 211-month old. Thanks for sharing. ---

Bwahahaha!! It’s been two years since we had one of these, but it’s still true. The other thing on my kid’s Santa list was paper. Paper for eating. A couple of sheets of that seaweed paper that you wrap around sushi totally made her Christmas. ---

I can tell you what my 16 month old did NOT want, and that was that Santa fellow. ---

My niece is 6 years old, and she’s still like this. \>\_\> ---

I sent that to my husband and for a minute he thought I wrote it until I told him I don’t own any bobby pins. ---

As the grandmother of a 10-month old, I had to look. I think my little guy’s list would include remotes to any device whatsoever (all to eat), definitely the cell phone (he has already figured out how to take a selfie), and the one about the dog’s hair. ---

> [@Zsofia](#): > > I sent that to my husband and for a minute he thought I wrote it until I told him I don’t own any bobby pins. Was your domicile new-built just for you? Because if it was ever occupied by human beings before you, it has bobby pins. You just haven’t found them. But a baby will. Oh, yes, a baby most certainly will. :eek:
