Little girl draws message in the snow urging Santa to take her brother away
This little girl's plight is one shared by nigh-on everyone with a sibling. Because, let's be real, brothers and sisters, while kind, loving and good fun at best, can also be mightily annoying.
9-year-old Jennifer Murphy from St. John's, Newfoundland, came up with a plan while out playing in the snow with her mum, Jo-Ann. She penned a message to Santa instructing him to "Leave presents, take brother!" I like your style, Jennifer.

Jennifer's mum seemed to be 100 percent on board with the prank on Jennifer's 13-year-old brother Ryan as she helped her write her message in the snow.
Thankfully, Ryan isn't too upset though. His mum told CBC News that he'd laughed it off.
Let's hope Santa finds it funny, too.
