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.
