We have the “if you don’t believe, you don’t receive” rule too. Works effectively.

My oldest knows… obviously. He’s almost 15. But, at our house, the old saying goes, “If you don’t believe… you don’t receive!” And, so, he happily “fakes” it. He’s no dummy! =)

My son was really pissed when he found out I’d been lying to him about Santa and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. But he’s forgiven me. He’s now 22 and we often sit around laughing and snorting at stupid stuff together! I was worried I’d miss the “little boy” days, but it just keeps getting better!

Love this. At our house, my almost 10 year old seems to be clinging with both fists at the “fantasy”. Which really works well for the almost 4 year old.
I love Joel’s ability to be so mature at 10! He must get that from you:)

“helping to guard the fantasy”. That is a wonderful phrase!

I’ve got both kids doing that to me now. Apparently, The Tooth Fairy wasn’t as stealthy as she thought she was. Busted…
Christmas will be interesting this year as well…I’m pretty sure my son has realized the scam but my daughter might still be hanging on to that one…

“Here’s your bill.”

BWAH!

I don’t think you need to worry that Joel is going to grow up with a good sense of humor.
