Kathi-I’ve heard that one before, on SNL, I think. Dana Carvey as The Church Lady. A real classic.

And my post tomorrow is all about spiders, yours included.

You know, just rearrange the letters of S-A-N-T-A and you have S-A-T-A-N.

I don’t know what that means. But still.

I’m not sure about this one myself. Growing up I don’t know when we figured out Santa wasn’t real but we all joined in the perpetrating of the myth until we were in our teens. We knew there was no Santa but we knew our ‘big’ gift would have his name on the tag. I think we left cookies and milk as late at 11 or 12.

I went through the same thing this summer with my daughter and the tooth fairy. She’s old enough and smart enough to have figured out the truth, but she seemed credulous enough when she came home from camp, after having written to me about losing a tooth there, and found money under her pillow. Good acting? The last vestiges of belief? I don’t know, but I know for sure that she knows the truth now, because her brother told me he filled her in.
