No Virginia . . . You Are An Idiot (Spoiler Alert!)
I overheard a conversation between my two sons while we were driving to Grounds for Sculpture; Ian-- who is six-- emphatically professed his disbelief in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny, and Alex-- who is seven-- agreed that they were all manifestations of "mommy and daddy," and I know that I am supposed to regret this moment and think: It's so sad that they've lost their innocence, their belief in make-believe and magic-- but what I actually thought was: Phew! Thank God my kids aren't idiots!

The kids are all right.
does your kid still believe in santa?
My kid has no beliefs right now, aside from a firm stance against sleeping for more than 3 hours at a time.
at least he's passionate about something.
