If they ask me anything, I'll tell them the truth. I don't think people should lie to kids.

I share that feeling.

In practice, will that screw kids up, particularly their imagination, or will it actually help their imagination since they will not be limited by existing mythology?

 

 

I told my son the truth about crimbo, that it's about family and giving(not neccessarily getting) presents. I also had to explain to him that jesus is like Noddy; just someone from a madeup story. Bloody school filing his head with shit.
