Kerry Spencer taught both of her children to sign using American Sign Language before they could speak because she found it useful to be able to communicate with them when they were babies. However, she did not anticipate her son, Samuel, to use his skill to communicate that he did NOT enjoy the experience of sitting in a mall Santa's lap!
We taught our baby sign language. This is the sign for "help."
Samuel
was just one year old when he used his baby version of ASL to sign
"help" to his mom while the photographer at the Provo Town Center Mall
in Provo, Utah snapped his picture. "I was standing to the side when
the pic was taken and actually didn't see that he was signing for help
until I saw the photo," his mom told TODAY Parents.

It's obvious that children know the truth instinctively! Why do we continue to lie to them about a corporate marketing tool! I regret lying to my son about Satan (Santa)Clause, I hope that some day we do away with this tradition! JMO
