Kaily had just returned home from a much needed vacation away from daddy for a few days.

Upon her return she informed me that the tooth she was having problems with was now ready to be yanked out of her mouth.

I didn’t think that she was going to allow me to go through the entire process but surprised me.

I could tell that she was on pins and needles however she did what she needed to in order to achieve the goal.

After I got her tooth out she got really excited about the thought of the tooth fairy & money however more concerned about the money.

When I heard how excited she got over a lie I had to ask myself if a white lie would hurt?

The answer I believe is pretty obvious, tell her the truth.

I told her that she did a great job but there was no such thing as the tooth fairy.

She then asked me about the money and I told her that parents do this for their children.

Kaily looked a bit puzzled until I told her that I would double the amount that she was going to get.

Since I had already told Kaily the truth about the Tooth Fairy, I decided to drop the bomb on her regarding Santa Clause.

“While we’re at it there is no such thing as Santa Clause,” I blurted out.

She looked at me with a blank stare and then she asked me to repeat myself.

Before I repeated myself I explained to her what the holiday is all about as well as Santa Clause.

I’m not a very big religious person however I do know what is right & wrong about the concept of Santa Clause.

Nothing wrong with giving but brain washing kids is wrong, especially since they’re being brain washed into consumers.

Kaily took a few moments thinking about what I just said and then she asked me where do her presents come from?

I told her that her family gets her gifts which she once again thought about.

She had a few basics questions such as, “who is that in the mall” and “who do parents lie,” but nothing that threw me for a loop.

For the most part I would say that she took the news very well…

Everything was going fine until I received a phone call from her teacher about Kaily arguing in school about there being a Santa Clause.

I knew that it was coming but I hoped that she wouldn’t have, just like when I got her the cell phone.
