We asked my parents if Santa was real, and they said "what do you think?" We said no, and they said you're right.
I think it's crazy that parents think it's a good idea to tell their kids a lie that if true would fundamentally change their understanding of the world. "Hey kid, I'm probably the person you most trust in the world. How about I tell you a real whopper?"
Religions
I agree, but parents believe the religion too, whereas they know Santa isn't real.
