Christmas Betrayal

I had a random memory earlier today at work that literally brought me to tears of laughter as I described it to a co-worker.

I don't remember exactly how old Parker was, but I know that it was toward the end of high school for me. Parker found out, I believe Marshal perhaps told him, that Santa Claus wasn't real. Madness ensued. I remember how betrayed Parker felt and how angry he was with all of us. We happened to be going to our ward Christmas party that night, at some point little Parker ran out into the parking lot yelling at the top of his lungs something about how it was all lies!

I can't remember the details more clearly than that, I was hoping some of you could help me out. But man, that has to be one of my favorite memories of Parker. I think he was so outraged by the injustice of it all, which might have been a precursor to his vegetarianism and other inclinations towards justice for all.

I love my family so much!

You pretty much got it right on. As his Mother it was devastating as none of the rest of you had such an intense reaction to being lied to by the people you trust most in the world!
