Santa Claus and Minnie Mouse

A few weeks ago, I was reading a Junie B. book to you. Junie B. was deciding what to dress up as for career day. Someone said they were going to be Minnie Mouse and Junie B. said she's not a real person, just a costume. There was a pause and you made a sort of huffy sound.

I asked what you said and you said: "That's not true."

"What's not true?"

"Minnie Mouse. She's a real person. She isn't a costume."

"Oh."

"Psssht. She lives in Disney World."

"Oh."

"She's just silly." Pointing to the book.

"Yeah..."

I know there's not a lot of time left before you realize what's real and what is not real. I love that you are so gullible though. It's going to make Christmas that much more awesome again this year when I have all three of you excited about Santa Claus. The Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Rudolph, and even Mickey Mouse. You are so awesomely a believer in all things about childhood.
