When my daughter was 7 or 8, she lost another tooth. When I mentioned the Tooth Fairy, she said "Mom, I know you're the Tooth Fairy". I tried to deny it, but she knew. Well, when she woke up, and there was no money, I said that's because there is no Tooth Fairy.
Well, when Christmas came around that year, I aked her to make a list for Santa. She said "Mom, I know you are Santa". At that point I said "Do you really want to have this discussion again?". She laughed and immediately made a list for Santa. It is fun for me, and for her. It was never about me lying to my child. They already grow up too fast, let them have fun while they can.
