And every Mom and Dad tried as hard as they could to get their kids into her class so they didn't have to be the ones to break the news to their kids.
And every kid already knew but felt if they let Mom and Dad know they knew, the presents would change from toys to clothes.
My earliest lesson in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
And every kid already knew but felt if they let Mom and Dad know they knew, the presents would change from toys to clothes.A real conversation between my brother, who was 3 years older than I:
Me: There is no Santa, I'm going to tell Mom & Dad we know.
Bro: Notice that only Santa brings toys? Mom & Dad only give clothes. You tell them that, no more toys!
Me & Bro: We believe! We believe!
Then, in another conversation that same year I did not learn about for many years, between Mom and my sister, who is 11 years older than me:
Mom: ...then that morning we will do Santa for the boys.
Sis: Mom, they don't still believe in Santa.
Mom: Oh yes they do.
We had her convinced for 2 more years...
