Well it's over. My daughter is in bed in tears saying over and over, "I wish I never knew." Thank you Judy Blume. On the eve of St. Nick and exactly 20 days away from Christmas Eve. I had to come clean with my daughter. I could no longer avoid it when she angrily begged me to tell her if Santa was real.In addition, I'm not sure where her older brother stands on the whole thing and neither does she. Apparently they have not discussed it.
I guess the thing that makes me the most upset is that she found out from a book that was assigned in school. I know I read it, but it's been years and I certainly did not remember the part where Santa was outed.
In the end, I'm not sure who has been most traumatized by this whole experience. I guess only time will tell.
