Mum shuts down her daughter's bad behaviour by texting SANTA

Not all heroes wear capes, and Kristin Hensely is a fine example of one of those heroes. 

This hilarious mum was trying to deal with her young daughter's tantrum, and came up with a genius idea.

Kristin changed her sister's name in her phone to Santa Claus, and texted him to let him know that her child was misbehaving. 

"Eleanor is not being very friendly and is screaming in the bathtub please take note and remove any necessary toys you feel is appropriate for her actions" she wrote to Mr. Claus. 

Kristin's sister played along (team work), and replied with a message for the little Eleanor, and her brother Finn. 

"Please tell Eleanor and Finn that I will give them a second chance. They should be nice and listen to mommy."

*slow claps*

"Santa is the single greatest piece of leverage parents have all year round," Kristin told The Huffington Post.

"Some might argue this is manipulation. They are correct."

Kristin, we like your style.
