A Scots mum was left stunned after her son left an explicit side note on his Santa list.
Ben Madden was writing what he would like Father Christmas to bring him this year - including a gaming chair, a 3D pen and a tablet.
But the eight-year-old ended his letter with a four letter tirade summing up his feelings on the global coronavirus pandemic.
Ben's mum Sam Gillies, 37, says the straight-talking Glasgow schoolboy was simply "saying what we a re all thinking".
She said "He gave me his list after he wrote it and i just sat it to the side. It wasn't until later on when I sat down and read it I saw what else he had written.
"I was a wee bit shocked at first, but then I just couldn't stop laughing. He's only saying what we are all thinking.
"Anyone who knows Ben knows he just says it how it is and this is no different.
"I don't allow him to swear but on this occasion I won't be giving him into trouble."
Sam shared Ben's Christmas list to a parenting facebook page and other parents thought it was hilarious.
She said: ""My wee boy left a message on his Christmas list.
"He isn't allowed to swear but this cracked me up
"I agree with him tbh."
Other mums agreed. One said: "Sometimes you just have to laugh, it's so true tho, sums up 2020!"
Another added: "He is saying what we are all Thinking."
