Jimmy Kimmel continues grilling tots for Santa as the Lie Detective. Using a foot-controlled buzzer to indicate a lie, Jimmy ‘tests’ kids to see if they’ve been naughty or nice. In this edition, four-year-old Ira is celebrating his second day sober. A nose picking addiction nearly wrecked his hopes of getting on Santa’s good side this year, but he’s two cents richer and holding steady.
I’m spotting a trend even among the sweetest of kids Jimmy has tested. Most seem to be ready and willing to rat on a sibling and furthermore, to recommend that Santa give the errant bro or sis a pass this year. Fortunately, Santa isn’t counting sibling rivalry as a ‘naughty’ offense, or a lot of us would get a fresh supply of coal each Christmas. Yes Virginia, you’re never too old for a round of rivalry.
