swedishcelt 0 #1 August 15, 2006 Did your parents say there was one or not? My niece wants no part of it. She wants no part of someone sneaking into to her bedroom at night. Money or no money. I think she is about to turn on Santa next... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamariewillbe 1 #2 August 15, 2006 I dont lie to the kids about that kinda stuff, they know its me who sneaks into their room and stuffs tons of change under the pillow. They are in awe that I can do it without them waking up. Santas not in their life either. The truth of Christmas is better then the fiction.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #3 August 15, 2006 Mine did it, and pretty early on I knew it was mom and dad, but I was always willing to play along with anything that involved money or gifts. Kids today ... so cynical."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J.

d_squared431 0 #7 August 15, 2006 I think is is good for kids to believe in something like the tooth fairy, Santa, and so on. That is what brings out their imaginations. Yes, I was brought up to believe in all of the above.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt1215 0 #8 August 15, 2006 I figured out the tooth fairy thing pretty early on, I played possum first time my dad slipped $$ under my pillow. Santa took me a while to figure out tho, my parents did a nice job there. I honestly do believe in Santa Claus as an adult. Not that such a figure literally exists, but what he represents. What he invokes in the active imagination. I've had a lot of fun dressing up as Santa.

I almost got totally busted when my daughter found some teeth in my jewelry box. I don't believe in lying. So, when she said, "Hey mom. There are teeth in your jewelry box." I said, "Yes. I know." She said, "Hey...maybe you're the tooth fairy." I said, "Maybe I am." She thought about it for a minute and then she said, "There is NO WAY you are the tooth fairy.
