How did you take it when you finally learnt what's really going on with Santa? Or, if you're a parent, how did your kids handle the big reveal? (piefed.social)

I caught my parents in the act of impersonating the Easter Bunny of all things and then called them liars, so they figured they might as well come clean about Santa and all the other traditional imaginary figures to get it all out in the open at once. Dammit guys, even the fucking Tooth Fairy isn't real. What kind of monsters would lie about that?

This is exactly why I don’t want to lie to my kids about Santa. I saw my younger sibling get really upset when he discovered the truth. Seems like an avoidable problem. But people tend to think I’m a grinch for not wanting to do the whole Santa thing

I fell asleep the night I was supposed to be the Tooth Fairy.

Had to find an excuse saying that "you are supposed to write a letter to the tooth fairy first".
