My 11yo daughter told me today that she positively knows who Santa, the Tooth Fairy (Ratoncito Pérez where I live) and the Three Wise Men are. So it's time to tell her something I read and I loved: that now she's also Santa, the Tooth Fairy and the Three Wise Men, she's part of a beautiful lie.
Because, as Death told Susan in The Hoghfather:
YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES, so you can believe the big ones: JUSTICE, MERCY, DUTY. THAT SORT OF THINGS.
