Don't Spoil the Illusion

My 10 year old has this week announced that she knows the Tooth Fairy, Santa and the Easter Bunny are all just really Mummy and Daddy!

This started because both she and her little brother had wobbly teeth at the same time.  It was my son's first wobbly tooth and he was making quite a drama out of it!

So 10 year old, out of the blue, announced that she knows the Tooth Fairy is just Mummy really.  I ask how she found out,  well it's thanks to another child at school telling the whole class!  Under my breath I'm saying to her 'don't spoil the illusion for your brother!' 

Then when 6 year old is out of ear shot, we have a conversation about it all, and she tells me one of her friends already told her that Santa is not real.  I ask her what she thinks of the Easter Bunny and she replies with 'oh I never really thought that was real thing anyway Mummy!' 🤣🤣

So there we have it, 2 weeks into being a 10 year old, and she's grown up a million times over already!
