OMG YES! I am constantly bursting into song in the middle of conversations because one word triggers some tune that I haven’t heard since I was 13. I can’t help myself! Like, the other day I was studying with friends from school. This one girl was trying to remember the answer to a question and says “I know it starts with a G” and what the hell comes out of my mouth? “Its kind of easy when youre listening to the g-dub sound, Pioneer speakers bumpin as I smoke on a pound, I got the sound fo yo ass and its easy to see, That this DJ be Warren G” I haven’t heard that shit since I was in like 9th grade but it came out in it’s entirety. Of course, my friends are doubled over laughing that the granola girl is spittin’ rhymes, but I digress. This kind of thing happens daily. Songs I didn’t even know I knew the words to get brought to light. The mind is a crazy, crazy machine.
^Word. When I was a kid my dad wouldn’t let us watch Married with Children. But I guess one time I fell asleep with the TV on and when I woke up the next day I knew all the words the the “Love and Marriage” theme song.
Anyway, enough thread hi-jacking. I was between 6 and 9 when I stopped believing. Then I played it off for maybe a year or two so I could get extra gifts.
LOL…I did the same thing. I was like “is this a Journey thread?”
Anyway, I didn’t “stop believing” but I ended up catching my Dad. He was actually being the tooth fairy and I was pretending to be asleep while he went to work in the morning so I could jump up right after he left and watch cartoons until it was time for school (he didn’t like when I did that so I would wait until he left). Anyway, I was still pretending when he grabbed the tooth I put under my pillow. Anyway, I asked him about it the next day and he and Mom were forced to dispell the tooth fairy, Santa, Easter Bunny and all of them at once. Poor me.
Frankly, I don’t see the point of Santa. I mean you’re busting your balls going to these horrible toy stores with loads of whiny children, fighting insane mothers and overspending hundreds of dollars for a toy your kid will lose interest in a week after Christmas…why give all the credit to some imaginary fat ass from the North Pole? Take all the credit, parents!! You deserve every bit of it! Besides, your kids will behave better if they know it’s YOU who buys the gifts and not Santa…

Sorry, we just thought he was another KOOK! We were right! 
Ali G - Is it true Jesus was born in a barn?
Priest - Yes they had to go deliver baby Jesus in the barn because there was no room at the INN.
Ali G - There prolly weren’t no room’s left at the inn cuz it was Christmas!
I still believe, despite what all of you have said. And what every other person I’ve ever met has said…
Until I see proof of his non-existence, I’ll remain a believer.
No joke i was about 7 at catholic school. The teacher of my 2nd grade class had something of a breakdown because all the kids were talking about santa instead of subtraction ( or some second grade subject), when she freaked out and told us all the terrible truth. It made the newspaper.
I still have not forgivin her.
Actually, in the true stories, Christmas isn’t even his real birthday. It was mostly selected as the day to celebrate it and it wasn’t even really celebrated as it is today until the 40’s-50’s, etc. Strange but true. Some parts of the Christian church that like to stay traditional still refuse to celebrate it. Silly churches…
