****ing Google just told my kids Father Christmas isn't real.

[KenDodd]

At a friends house using their Google mini. Thankfully they're old enough to already know but still.
AIBU to be pissed off?

Old enough to have unsupervised access to the internet is old enough to know.

YABU but thanks for making me ask Siri!

Father Christmas (Real) is not to be confused with Santa (made-up Coca Cola marketing gimmick)

Same here @RedDiamond a win for Alexa!!!!

Also- all this outrage about "unsupervised access to the internet"- I'm assuming your children aren't allowed in rooms with any kind of smart hub? Or they are taught not to ask the smart hub anything?! Keep up with the times!

They all knew already, they're older, they thought it was hilarious actually.

So why are you pissed off?

YABU
1 they already know
2 they should know
3 why lie to your children. I do not put Christmas with farther Christmas. My children did not ever believe about farther Christmas. Maybe it's because I believe in Jesus and Christmas is a celebration of our Lords birth and the presents they receive are the symbol of the presents of God.

WHAT !!!! Father Christmas is not real ?

Santa (made-up Coca Cola marketing gimmick)

Excuse me but its always been Santa in Scotland!

So your kids are older and already knew. Internet told them what they already knew and now you're pissed off? What? Have you no real problems to get worked up over?

Maybe it's because I believe in Jesus and Christmas is a celebration of our Lords birth and the presents they receive are the symbol of the presents of God

That's your belief but it's not mine. We always did Santa when the kids were younger. By the time they got to age 8/9 they knew it was us but it was fun while they still believed.

Siri says that those mince pies don't eat themselves. I knew that

He is. Suri and Alexa know the truth.

I asked Siri.

@KenDodd phew !

@Butchyrestingface You just click the other box (so click YABU, even if you’ve already selected YANBU) and it will change your vote. They really should tell people that, because accidental clicks happen all the time and it’s easily fixed, except that most posters don’t know. I know, it’s damn annoying when it “steals” your vote. Caveat: I haven’t tried it in the app, so I don’t know for sure if it will work there, but works on mobile and desktop.

Dds favourite thing to ask siri is 'Why are fire engines red? '. She gives a rather thorough answer

I asked Alexa this morning "are you thick or what?" to which she replied "I don't know the answer to that question" which answered it for me.

They already know so why are you annoyed? What is the big deal here?

Children find out something that is true and they already know.

This is shocking.

I just asked her if she was married and she told me she was attached. To the wall. 😂

I believe in God and Father Christmas. It is amazing.

I asked Google a few times, she also said that if she gets presents she won't ask questions.

I think posters are confusing google "the entire internet" and the google assistant who speaks to you on a google home/mini etc

The op is, I don’t think other posters are.
I asked my google home, she said something about the North Pole.

The op googled the answer and got random answers.

If I ask Is Santa real? she gives up.

Alexa does not give the game away-
she says
"someone has been eating my mince pies and father christmas looks just like the type"

Well played Alexa

Whoa. Hold the phone- really?? I've always heard him referred to as Santa, especially on the TV/radio. Right, I'm off to Google. BRB.
