When did your son find out? Mine never did. They still believe. No one ever acknowledged that Santa might not be- re-r-rr-ree- no, can't say it. I think the boys were afraid they would ruin Christmas for their parents of they told us there was no Santa. They probably had a meeting about it. "Christian! Matt told me at school that there was no such thing as Santa Claus!" "I know that, stupid. I've known for years." "Well, why didn't you tell me?" "Keep you voice down. Mom might hear you." "You mean she doesn't KNOW?" "I don't think anyone's ever told her. That's why we have to keep pretending." "DOn't you think we should tell her the truth? I mean, won't it be embarrassing if she makes us sit on Santa's lap when we're like fifteen or something?" "Well, maybe someone will tell her at PTA. She should hear it from her peers. I just don't want to ruin it for her. She's all excited about making reindeer food today." "Oh, jeez, not that stuff again." "So just go along when she gets all excited if they announce on TV that Santa was sighted heading to Dallas." "Yeah, that was stupid." "You mean you knew last year they were lying?" "Sure, everyone knows Santa doesn't leave til everyone's asleep." "Umm- yeah."
