In our little world with three growing boys, there's ALWAYS SOMETHING to smile about...
but usually only after we've given the initial blank stare with mouth WIDE open and no words coming out thinking "WHERE in the world did THAT come from!?!"

and then had a few moments to actually think it through...

Santa

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.
