When Santa comes to town during the holidays, children and their parents line-up to meet the jolly old man – but one Maryland toddler just wasn’t having it.

Kerry Spencer had taught her son the sign for “help” in sign language. During his photo op with Santa – he made the sign.

“We taught our baby sign language. This is the sign for “help.” You’re welcome,” Spencer wrote.

Spencer tweeted out the hilarious photo last week and it has gone viral with over 5,800 retweets and over 22,900 likes, as of Saturday afternoon.

She went on to clear up the specific sign language variant he was taught.

“In baby sign you go with what they do. We showed him the ASL version and this is what he did,” she wrote on Twitter.

We still don’t know if the little boy was even able to let Saint Nick know what he wanted for Christmas before his parents rescued him from the man in red!
