Pat yourself on the back...haha.
It's always intriguing to me how most people, through their ego, think that their, in fact,
very typical behavior, is so very individual and unique.
I certainly would never make a point of lecturing my children that Santa isn't real, but if they ask me if Santa is real or not then I would tell them as much of the truth as they wanted to know.
I'll be letting them know The Garden Of Eden was an ancient Hebrew creation myth that became an annual dramatic play and then became the first book of the Old Testament, Genesis.
However, I will also let them know that myths have value as well.
