Sarah McCammon of NPR says her 6-year-old Santa skeptic was assigned to write a letter to Santa in school, and she posted the result to Twitter. We’d say this kid is going on the naughty list, but who knows — maybe Santa was impressed by the candor (or intimidated by the skulls drawn in the margins).

The letter reads:
Dear Santa,
Santa Im only doing this for the class. I know your notty list is emty. And your good list is emty. and your life is emty. You don’t know the trouble Ive had in my life. Good bye.
love
Im not telling you my name
PS – the "troubles" in his life? His brother. Don't call child services. ?
