‘He's got gangrene on his penis’: Mum explains to 8yo son why Santa doesn’t have kids.

A local mum has been brandished one of the biggest liars of all time by her local school community, after telling her son Santa Claus doesn't have children because he got gangrene on his penis.

Jodie Jopps, a local urulogist (penis doctor) had to think quick when her 8-year-old son Johnny raised the question after getting home from school last week.

'I panicked,' Jodie explained. 'My final patient of the day had a flaky coal-looking penis (gangrene) and it's the first thing that came to mind.'

As one would expect, little Johnny shared the news with his friends at school the next day, and before long, word got back to school principal Beryl Fendley who was outraged.

'How someone could tell such an incomprehensible lie about Santa Claus is... incomprehensible,' Ms Fendley, who's a childless person herself, but may or may not be because of gangrene, said.

A toe with gangrene, not a penis.

Ms Jopps apologised to staff and parents at the school for the misstep, however spoke of the hyprocrisy that staff and parents were making her apologise for lying about Santa. She was also adamant a separate rumour that Santa got gangrene because Rudolph bit him on the penis, was not spread by her, but by someone else.

A number of mothers at the school expressed their disappointment in Ms Jopps, but were relieved to know there was a urulogist in their community, and were believed to book appointments for their husbands some time later.
