Dear Blake,
I’m only five years old, and I want to know if Santa Claus is real.

Dear Jimmy,
What are you, crazy? Of course Santa Claus is real! In this economy, do you really think you parents would squander their hard earned money on some gifts that you’ll probably destroy within a month of receiving them? Your inability to comprehend a very obvious budgetary fact, suggests to me that you’ll probably drop out of school before you’re 12. I hope this helps.
Blake
