The Gig Is Up

CHARLIE: "Mom, tell me the truth -- is Santa real, or is it really you and Dad?"
ME: "Why would you think it's me and Dad?"
CHARLIE: "Look, I already know its you and Dad so just tell me!"
ME: "Who's been telling you Santa isn't real? The kids at school? The kids on the bus?" (When in doubt ALWAYS blame the kids on the bus.)
CHARLIE: "Nobody! I've just been thinking about it all day, and I know he isn't real! The tooth fairy is really you and Dad and so is Santa Claus!"
ME: (defeated.) "Okay, he's not real."
CHARLIE: "Oh my god, I can't believe you and Dad have been lying to me all these years!!"
