    Santa: "Tell me why?"

    4. "A unicorn that poops rainbows"

    To be fair, if you’re going to ask for a mythical creature you might as well ask for one that poops rainbows.

    5. "Plutonium"

    Universal Pictures

    Was this kid building a time machine in the backyard?

    6. "A 'penis' book"

    United Feature Syndicate

    This request came from a little guy who had trouble pronouncing "Peanuts."

    7. "A fax machine"

    Granted, the kid asked for this in 1989, but it's still weird.

    8. "Lasagna"

    Film Roman/Paws, Inc.

    Actually, I'm totally onboard with this one.

    9. "Nicole Scherzinger"

    Warner Bros.

    This kid's teacher after Christmas: "Yes, Batman, you may go to the bathroom."
