I'm the same. I never equated it to lying or breaking my trust; it was a fun game while it lasted, and I realised that even when I was eight.
That's a pretty good explanation.
I don't remember when I figured it out or how I felt, I just remember making up theories like "Santa must be invisible, because I don't remember falling asleep, and yet presents were there when I woke up."
My mum did make a valiant attempt to propagate the lie, making reindeer footprints out of fake snow and the like, but it was pretty easy to see through because she always smiled when I asked. I'm pretty sure I suspected even when I sort of believed it.
On the other hand, telling your siblings that vampires or werewolves or what have you are real and are COMING TO GET YOU! is not cool! .... Not gonna lie, I was victim to that but then I perpetrated it on my stepbrother when I was older.
Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!
