I remember meeting a couple at a mutual friends' dinner party a few years ago, and in conversation they mentioned that they had, that very afternoon, decided that their daughter was getting quite grown up now and it was time that they told her the truth about Santa.
So they broke the news to her and she was devastated. Properly upset....legs gone from under her, crumpled-on-the-floor crying type of upset.
Now you might think that there's nothing especially unusual about that, but there's one detail I didn't mention...
....she was 16 years old.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
