Adolesence is murdered when kids discover the truth about Santa, the Easter Bunny, and so on. It is quite a tramatizing blow to realize that your immortal, perfect parents have lied to you. At least it was for me.
I was an emotional wreck; a desolate soul at the age of 9. The worst part: all my friends still believed, so I carried the burden day after day, refusing to detinate the lives of my peers. That day I made a pack to NEVER tell my children the truth. Also on that day an angered poetic verse was written in response to my agony. Please do not judge me, I was one of the cool 3rd graders! Anyway, I found this yesterday and couldn't stop laughing... Priceless. Oh god...enjoy.
THE MAGICAL THINGS

Santa, the Easter Bunney and rhe tooth fairy are cool! I believe in them," said Jen O'Tool.
"So Do I," yelled Mick Smie.
But one August night, their parents told them and the children had fright.
"But what about Christmas Eve when we gave santa a pie. Did you just eat it and tell us a lie?"
"But what about when I wanted a baby doll. When my tooth came out I wanted one, so I put it under my pillow. When I woke up I found baby Dillo. Was that a lie too?"
"But what about on Easter when we found eggs filled with Candy. Did you just hide them and lie to me and Mandy?"
Their parents nodded yes. They glanced and yelled "We thought you were the best!"
They stomped up stair with big wet tears.
They looked at their inisent face in the mirrors.
They finally forgave their parents after 2 years.
BUT they never forgot how they looked in their mirrors
-please told you applause...What? OK, what the hell- clap it up! :)
love love,
Curious Chloe
