In Second Grade, several children were having a murmured discussion while taking off their coats before school began. After a few minutes, one of the kids came over to me.
James* So, do you believe in Santa Claus or not?
Me Hmm. Why are you asking me that, James?
James* Well. Some of the kids are saying he's not real.
Me Hmmm. What do you think?
James* I don't know for sure if he is, or not. But I'm going to keep believing anyway, just in case.
I'm not taking any chances!
*James, of course, is not this pragmatic child's real name.
