A 10-year-old girl has expressed her devastation over learning the truth about Santa.
In a series of furious notes pushed under her parents' door Belle Adams, of Maryland in the US, told her mother and father she can not believe them anymore and that their Christmas revelation "broke my heart".
The last of her four notes features a drawing of a raised middle finger which caused the couple to lose their "ever loving s***", according to Belle's mother's post to Facebook.
"The time has finally come," Nicki Adams wrote of the ordeal. "Belle asked point blank about Santa and she's been asking every day.
"So we were truthful and she may never speak to us again......especially when we lost our ever loving s*** at the pictures on the right that she slid under the door to us.....?#?dontlaugh?."
In the first of four notes, her daughter details her heartbreak and raises new questions about the legitimacy of the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy: "You have no idea what you just did.
"I really tried to belive (sic). Everyone told me its (sic) your parents. I can't belive (sic) you anymore. Is the easter bunny real, how about the tooth fairy huh? You just ruiend (sic) a 10 year old's childs (sic) LIFE thanks."
Her second post under the door expresses how she will never recover from the news about Santa.
"Nothing will make me feel better u lied to me about somthing (sic) I loved that BROKE My Heart."
By the third note, Belle was done with words, slipping a drawing of a hand with a raised middle finger to her parents.

Note number four served as an explainer for the third, featuring a similar drawing and the hashtag "middle finger emoji".
Commenting on her post, Belle's mum wrote that she and husband Mike went from being concerned to laughing hysterically.
"Oh the emotion! We went from omg what did we do to omg that's so hilarious that I can't breathe!"
"I laughed so hard that Mike made me go in the other room,' she wrote in another comment. 'She was really having a moment and I was peeing my pants haha."
She added that her daughter got over her frustration about an hour later.
