Last Thursday, in the car:

Grace: "Mom, is Santa real? Because Julia says he's not."

Me: "Of course he is real!"

Tess: "Of course he is Grace – you've met him, on the Candy Cane Train!"

Grace: "No, that wasn't the real Santa. The real Santa is too busy in his workshop."

Me [long pause]: "Wow, look at those beautiful Christmas lights!"

Last Friday, in the car:

Grace: "Mom, is Rudolph real?"

Me [long pause]: "What do you think?"

Grace: "I don't think so. How could he possibly have a shiny red nose?"

Tess: "Red paint!"

Me [long pause]: "Wow, look at that beautiful sunset!"
