[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 302025, member: 3444"] I know I shouldn't laugh, but I am, because he sounds just like my difficult child 2. I'm waiting for him to start talking about Santa again at school and have everyone start screaming with laughter. :( Last year he was assigned a paper where he had to write about an event that really happened to him and he chose our family tradition where "Santa" comes to my sister in law's house for a visit and some dessert, usually a week or so before Christmas. Since it's been the SAME elderly man and his "Mrs. Claus" every year since before my kids were born, it was easy for them to believe he was the real deal. Well, I'm pretty sure difficult child 1 knows what's up, but difficult child 2 wrote in his paper how Santa comes to see him at his aunt's house every year, and that he gets to tell him what he wants for Christmas and usually gets what he asks for. He is convinced the guy is real. As is the Easter Bunny, in his opinion. (That's what I get for leaving rabbit tracks down our hallway each year...) And I know you read my post about his sincere belief in dragons and his desire to be a Pokemon... I just need to have him read more and have conversations to help clarify what he's reading, I guess. Reality check... I'm starting to think this kind of perception is a genetic thing because husband's parents have some very strange views on things, and husband has an uncle in his 50's who is a bit eccentric with his Star Wars collecting... among other things (ummm, very unusual social skills, for sure). Any way, it's not your fault, Terry! You're just gonna have to check in with him periodically to make sure he hasn't wandered off the path too far! [/QUOTE]
