I think it's a shame that more parents don't teach their children manners. What kind of a person gets joy from shattering anothers harmless illusion? My 9 yro nephew tried to be clever and told my eldest twin he knew that he knew there was no Santa, my son replied that not was there a Santa, but he hoped he'd be more careful this year because last year his reindeer kicked our dish off the roof and dad had to go out there in the middle of a blizzard to put it back up.
