Today Cody saw a picture of Santa.
“Is Santa wearing a costume?” he asked me.
“Yes,” I said.
“Then Santa’s a FAKE,” he spit.
“Why do you say that?” I said, startled by this conclusion.
“Because we only wear costumes on Halloween. That means that Santa isn’t real if he wears a costume.”
Nothing I said could convince him otherwise.
I can’t believe he has lost his belief in Santa over a perceived inauthenticity of Santa’s threads!
It’s logic I never would have dreamed up at his age.
