I'm a dream crusher

So... one of my students told me today that she believed in Santa until I ruined it for her. I made some sort of off-hand (not off color!) comment about Santa, and apparently I ruined everything. I am a terrible teacher ( Read more... )

I believe I was in third grade and Tara Wojnicki told me there was no Santa Claus. I remember literally telling my mom "Tara said there's no Santa Claus" and I could tell my mom was pissed that she told me, haha. I also vaguely remember Tara proving the point that Santa didn't exist by showing me the location of the presents stash her parents had already bought.

It's a little crazy how much hoopla is put into a figure that only lasts for the first 7 or 8 years of a person's life. And really, he only has a good 3 or 4 years of actual belief, before that the kid is too young to believe at all.

But man are those vivid memories - I can still hear the hooves and the sleigh bells on the roof.

Wow, her parents must have gone to some great lengths to fool her. That, or she has some serious denial issues that are going to get her into trouble in the future.

What do you MEAN you never loved me?! What about when we rode all night on your Harley?! Did giving me your helmet mean NOTHING to you?!
