Regarding Santa.
Me: Laurel, do the kids in your class talk about whether or not they still believe in Santa?
Laurel: Yes, except for Parker, and he tries to convince everyone else they shouldn't believe.
Me: What do the others say to him when he does that?
Laurel: They say he's stupid. I don't say that, though. That's no different from when kids say I'm stupid for not believing in a god.
Me: That's an excellent point. Do you think Santa exists?
Laurel: Yes, I think so, but I don't understand how he manages to get all those presents to all those places so quickly.
Me: It's a conspiracy.
Laurel: What?
Me: Nevermind. What if Parker were right? What if Santa didn't exist?
Laurel: Well, I wouldn't care. I like the idea of Santa.
