I told him not to tell the cousins who are here visiting, ages 11 and 12. We must keep the myth alive!! He let me (Grandma) know that he was “shocked” to learn about Santa and the Easter Bunny.

I'd tell him not to go spreading it to show how cool he is, because it's supposed to be secret knowledge that separates kids by maturity. The concept may be over his head, but if it isn't, that's a milestone in itself.

Me, I can't keep a secret... so eventually told Mom I knew. She's still mad at us for knowing the presents that year. Santa rox!
