My child thought he heard Santa when it was actually my mistress

Me and my husband have an open relationship, although I am certainly more “lucky.” I usually have my affairs during his shift at work (11pm-7am). Two nights ago (or one, depending on how you count) after putting my kid to bed, I had this guy over who was a clumsy drunk in and out of bed. When I sent him on his way around 3am, I was so disappointed that I didn’t even walk him out. As he was leaving through the living room, he made a ton of noise and I heard him knock a bunch of things over before going out the door.

I completely forgot it was Christmas Eve until my child ran into my room and said she heard Santa. She begged me to go with her to check it out so that we might be able to meet him. As I had already heard my lover leave, I decided to take my daughter to the living room.

The bastard had eaten the cookie and drank the milk that my girl had left out for Santa, but I guess that was for the best— she got really excited: “he was here!” she shouted. I hushed her and took her to bed before she saw that he had stepped on and destroyed one of the presents I got for her; the next morning I through the evidence into the dumpster.
