After the following discussion, I decided Child #2 wasn't quite ready for "the talk":
Child #2: Mom, all the kids were talking about Christmas and Santa today at school.
Me: Oh?
Child #2: Yup.
Me: And what were they saying?
Child #2: They were trying to decide if Santa really exists or not.
Me: [deep breath] And what do you think?
Child #2: Doesn't really matter. I already know the truth.
Me: You do?
Child #2: Yup.
Me: And you're okay with that?
Child #2: Yup.
Me: Do you have any questions?
Child #2: Nope. It's just that everyone was wanting to argue with me but I didn't say anything-just listened. But, I know the truth and I'm the only one.
Me: [skeptically] And what exactly IS the truth?
Child #2: Oh, everyone else believes that Santa isn't real.
