Defending Santa Claus

At a dinner party last evening, a self-absorbed individual blurted out the following statement in a loud voice: “Our parents just told us, ‘There’s no such thing as the Tooth Fairy, and there’s no such thing as Santa Claus’.” Apparently, they failed to notice that one of the people seated at the table was a seven-year-old child.

The adults in the room immediately jumped into damage control mode, citing an extensive list of personal interactions with both Santa and the Tooth Fairy. The child’s mother reminded her that she had just seen “the real Santa Claus” at Macy’s, and that her little brother had just received a significant financial windfall from the Tooth Fairy.

Hopefully, our efforts were effective. How can anyone be so idiotically insensitive?
