yeah, well SB was always going to take it badly. i took it v badly as cried that i couldn’t believe mum would lie to me. so i did make a huge effort to dissuade her from asking, and telling me what she thought first. oh well.

Wasn’t Pea, it was Ros!

Oh dear, sorry she was so upset – my eldest two know everything but it was never a problem and they enjoy playing along. Ernest still seems completely convinced of their reality, which worries me, I can imagine him being pissed off when he finds out the truth.

ah you see, that’s why SAnta only brings one special pressie to our house (and if you’ve seen the adverts tehn you know that Santa uses Argos and sometimes other outlets to get a head start on the gifts!) so it glosses over the whole thing of where all the other stuff comes from, pressies arriving late and the general melee that is Duke’s family dishing out gifts when they all get together on Boxing day.

I don’t feel even slightly mean bout lying about fairies and other mystical gift bearers although I probably should.

SB is very dubious about Father Christmas, she was very suspicious of the stickers she got from him when she noticed they ahd a ‘Yellow Monn’ sticker on, after we bought some other stuff from Yellow Moon. She thought it unlikely that FC got his stuff from them as well.

I don’t think we should lie, but I still think you should play along if they still want to. I remember playin along with the whole idea of TF and FC even though I knew that it was really true. I was happy to ignore that

hmm, my lot extrapolated about Father Christmas after the tooth fairy myth was exposed early on due to our general forgetfulness late at night! Def. don’t think you should lie, although it is sad when innocence and ‘magic’ is lost, but that’s all part of growing up.

Hugs for the blahness, hope tomorrow is better.

i think i should have lied. i feel dreadful. very blah. i did tell her not to ask about anything that she may not want to know the answer to in the future.
she said that next tooth we should see if a fairy comes as maybe i go in too soon. so should i lie????

Ooh, sob for the tooth fairy. Mine was suspicious about Father Xmas too. I lied. May I be forgiven…
