[ WP ] A budding young sociopath sits on Santa 's lap .

`` And what would a young man like you want a kitchen knife for?'' 
 
 `` For my daddy'' 
 
 `` Hoho, what a nice boy! But you know, you can tell me what you want for yourself. After all if your daddy was good last year, I am sure he will get his wish fulfilled!'' 
 
 `` And'', Santa thought, `` I really do n't want to send an elf over to household to fetch a cheap knife for a kid'' 
 
 `` I want a kitchen knife, so I can give it to daddy'' 
 
 Well, rules were rules: An item under 10 $. Keep the kids happy. No adult stuff. Nothing about kitchenware in the rules. So an elf was dispatched, a cheap knife was found, and a kid walked out of the store, if not happy, at least content. 
 
 Christmas morning came, and everything played out as it was planned. He surprised daddy in bed with his new knife. 
 
 And in exchange he was allowed ice cream for breakfast. Just as planned.
