This morning :
Tara: Mummy, have I lost almost all my baby teeth?
Me : I think so...I've lost track but many have fallen
Tara: It's just that I think.. I know... there is no Tooth Fairy. It's you...isn't it?
Me: Hmmm..
(Long pause)
Tara (voice trailing): Anyway...even if she is real...and I don't believe anymore...I won't get a pound coin...
(Longer Pause)
Tara: Mummy..?
Me: Yes?
Tara: I'm not saying this..I'm not even thinking it, but people say..HE is not real either..
Me (Heart breaking silently): Who?
Tara (whispering): I won't say HIS name in case the elves are hiding about. I'm not sure...but I will believe....just in case HE forgets me this Christmas..
Me: Okay darling..
Why? Why must they grow up? I wonder why the cynical few blow it for the innocent believers..
I LOVE YOU SANTA CLAUS !!
