Do you believe???

Do you believe in Santa? Trevor has gotten to the age where he is asking lots of questions about Santa. The other day he came home from school with all kinds of questions. He told me that a boy at school told him that his parents told him that Santa wasnt real. Steve never wanted to tell Trevor about Santa because he felt that when Trevor did realize that he wasnt real, he would wonder why we lied to him all those Christmas'. I on the other hand wanted to follow with tradition and tell Trevor about Santa, leave out the cookies and milk, and leave presents from Santa. I mean parents have been telling there kids for years that Santa was real. I wasnt sure what to tell Trevor. So I said that if he believed in Santa, then he was real and if he didnt believe, then he wasnt. Boy was that a mistake. He followed me around the house asking if we were the ones that were Santa. Trevor is such a smart boy and he has always asked me a question about something and it is like he knows if I am not telling the truth. For instance he wanted to know how Emelyn got in my belly and how she was born. He wouldnt settle for that the dr was just going to take her out. So we told him the truth and he left it at that. So I should of known when the questions started, that he wouldnt let it go till he got the right answer. Well maybe not the right answer, but the one that made him feel better. So I told him that I had never seen Santa and my parents never told me he wasnt real. Then he asked if we put presents under the tree and said they were from Santa, how do reindeers fly, how does Santa get around the world in one night...... and the list goes on and on. I was backed right into a corner. So I told him that we would type the question into ask.com. We read the history of Santa. His feelings were hurt, but I told him that it really doesnt change anything. We still will fill his stocking and there will be special presents under the tree. I told him that I wanted him to still believe in Santa. He said he would try. Let me tell you being a parent sometimes is really difficult.
