The funniest or most bizarre thing your kids have ever asked Santa for

[castmemberb4]

OK, I'll bite. What is a fun-n-rodder?

I'm so glad you asked because i couldn't figure it out either.
Well Merriweather is a fun-n-rodder something you can explain on the DIS ???

He wanted a Front-End Loader, like Tonka toys.

I wanted to see if anyone posted that we were complete morons for not guessing. Since Elsie was so matter of fact about it

Next year he asked for a Dozzer, but we were on to him by then and picked up a bull-dozer, just like he was asking for

So now the big dilimma....do I drive an hour away (Williamsburg) to get the shoes??? (And, when do I find the time to do that?!) And if so.... really?? Will he be like "I got SHOES for Christmas...." by the time it rolls around to open gifts?

Help me DIS ....what to do.....

Can Santa leave him a picture of the shoes with a note that Mom will take him to the store to get them? You never know...he may go through a growth spurt and the shoes you buy him today may not fit him two or three weeks from now. This has happened to me. I bought my DS shoes and four weeks later they were too small.

When my sister was 5 she sat on Santa's lap and told him that the ONLY thing she wanted for Christmas was B**BIES.....then the very next year she asked for a bra. She's 39 now and Mom still brings it up every year....likes to joke that she's disappointed that she still hasn't gotten any

When my DS11 was 2, he watched New Yankee Workshop all the time, and wanted a drill press like Norm.

Right from the beginning we made DD understand that Santa would never give everything on the list, no matter how reasonable ie. there would always be one present that he didn't bring. But he would always give her something she didn't ask for because he knew she would like it. Plus, the rule is that if you only ask for 1 thing, that will be the thing you don't get. Thank goodness -- we needed those rules sometimes. Maybe that could help, since he may just as easily change his mind AGAIN.

This year DD is 9 and still believes -- she asked for a breadmaker. She likes bread a lot more than cookies and cakes, so I figure it will get more use than the Easy Bake Oven did.

Good idea! We have talked a bit about how we dont get everything on our list...but this 'all I want thing' is new - he usually wants TONS!

Wow, a bread maker!! Talk about a gift that the whole family can enjoy !! Yum!

I this idea and you are SO right, the way his feet grow the size 3's might need to be size 3 1/2's!!

My parents told me when I was little I asked Santa for belly button fuzz for my nephew. He liked to pick it. He and I are only 4 months apart in age.

That is hilarious.

After 9/11 in 2001 the only thing my 6 year old son asked for was an American flag. He got it and it is still on the wall in his room.

 

[cntrygal]

I love that you got them!
This year, much easier (and cheaper!)

It had been a very rough year, we had lost my mom to pancreatic cancer, ( i got her mikimoto set) and had to move on very short notice. I would have done any thing to make her happy. When we went to disney last year, of course we had to go to the mikimoto store in epcot, and first the salegirl seemed a little annoyed to have a young girl in there. When my daughter pointed out the same set she has, the girl just looked like ya right, my daughter pointed out what pieces i have, i told her she isnt kidding we own serveral pieces, well her attitude changed real fast, want to show me every piece in the store then.

I wanted the snoopy snowcone machine for YEARS!!!!

Me too! I finally got one when I was 32.

DD has asked for "mighty putty" for 3 years now. Not sure why Santa doesn't bring it and get it over with.

My DS15, has asked for a few strange things over the years.
1. when he was about 10, he asked for coconuts! real ones... he had seen the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", and wanted to clop clop the coconuts!! He got them, and all the kid cousins that were visiting thought those coconuts were the greatest thing ever! Here we had a houseful of new toys, and all the kids are clamoring to have a turn with coconuts that have been cut in half!! LOL!!
2. When he was 13, he wanted a top hat, rip-away windpants and a speedo!!!! He saw an episode of "According to Jim", in which the neighbor ripped off his windpants, down to his speedos! Apparently this is the height of humor for a 13 year old boy! Only he thought it would be even funnier if he were wearing a top hat!! Yes, he is a little weird!!

It was not my child but a Salvation Army child wish from and Angel Tree we did at my work. A 10 year old girl asked for lace underwear and high heals.

 

[phorsenuf]

I think my son was around 5 or so and he wanted a stuffed giraffe with chicken pox. Yes, chicken pox.
I actually found a stuffed giraffe that had spots that looked more like the pox than the spots they usually have. We still have it.

Where do these kids come up with such things anyway?????

Maybe they were for her mom - and not as "bad" as it sounded?

Two years ago DS5 decided he wanted a stuffed carrot, two days before Christmas . When DS3 heard the conversation, he asked for a squeaky hamburger . We discovered that Petsmart dog toys can be for kids, too !!!

When my oldest was 3 she asked Santa for an Ionic Breeze. He asked her "is that for your mom" and she said "no for me."

My youngest this year asked for a girlfriend for her bear teddy. But, it has to have eyelashes so we know it's a girl.
