Oh, 'cause using "Cinderella" as a point of comparison helps so much. (I have hatred for the "Sit around and be dutiful and long-suffering and eventually you will be rewarded with marriage to a rich and handsome stranger" story.)
And yeah, Allie (lilithchilde) argued below about stories, but I feel like there's a difference between telling stories that are powerful stories and spreading false information as fact.
I lost so few teeth as natural process that the tooth fairy was almost a moot point in my childhood.
Also: yes, disbelief in Santa and a sharing of that belief is clearly indicative of general evilness, not to mention a serious lack of personal hygiene. I felt like the end was a a heavy-handed metaphor for God smiting the unbelievers or something.
[Random: I got to share the null-submit poll information with musesfool tonight, and I thought of you.]
