Figuring out the right age to tell kids Santa isn’t real is tricky… mainly because children have *excellent* selective belief systems. They’ll stop believing in Santa the moment they notice he uses our Amazon account… but the Tooth Fairy? Oh, they’ll cling to that one till puberty. Why? Because Santa gives for free, but the Tooth Fairy is a *trade*. Money is flowing, and they’re not stupid. Half the kids are just pretending they still believe because the payout is too good to risk. And don’t get me started on the Easter Bunny—no magic, no money, just chocolate. Honestly, I’m shocked they don’t unionize for better benefits.
