We were in the car driving home from the library and Alex began firing off questions about Santa Claus. I kept answering them to which he would always reply, "But how?" "But why?" "But how?" "But why?" My answers about magic did not satisfy. He wanted to know how the magic worked. My answers about Santa clause having helpers and being special and this and that did not work. He wanted to know why and how and why and how.
Sooooo.....I finally said, "Well Alex, you when something is pretend it can be whatever and however you want it to be."
He energetically replied, "Mommy! Santa Clause is NOT pretend! He is REAL!!"
I said, "Okay then. Well, I don't have any more answers for you Alex. I don't know how he does what he does."
