I have two sons.?They are as different as night and day.?My youngest is sweet, loveable, easy-going, and finds joy in everything.?My oldest we’ve nicknamed the “Evil Genius” is ambitious, self-confident, and suffers no fools.?

Whenever we mentioned Santa my husband and I were rewarded with major eye rolling and deep sighs from my oldest.?At first we both tried to ignore it.

We both knew that our eldest had figured out the big secret.?But I’d be damned(指责) if he was going to ruin it for his six-year-old brother who had plenty of Santa-loving years ahead of him.?I looked at my husband in the eye and said, “I’ll handle this.” to which he responded “Okay just be careful because I’m not sure he knows - he might?just be acting like it.”?But I knew.?And I had it in my mind that he was about to break his younger brothers spirit and break the news to him.?I was afraid he was going to take?the Christmas spirit away from?my sweet innocent youngest and stamp all over it.?I had to protect him.?I needed to control this now before it got out of control.?I rushed into?the play room where my oldest was playing alone. I looked him dead in the?eyes and said: “Well you know Santa isn’t real, right?”??And as I stared at my eight-year-old son for what seemed like a long time of silence, his eyes started to fill with tears.??And a tear dropped down his cheek when he screamed out, “He’s not?”?

The Evil Genius wasn’t buying it.?He just sat there looking at me with an expression of doubt.

You know when you make a terrible mistake but you can’t stop yourself from making it worse??That was me because I just had to know.?I had to know why he had seemed to be over Santa.?So I asked him why he rolled his eyes and sighed every time his father and I mentioned Santa.?To which he replied that kids at school had been saying Santa wasn't real but that he still thought he was.?
