1) Recall a time that you heard a statement of “fact” that was later found to be untrue. It can be from a parent, a teacher, a friend, a government official, a book, or a film. How did you find out it was untrue and how did it make you feel? Did it change your outlook on anything?
Well, a long, long time ago I was told that there was such thing as Santa and that he brought presents and filled stockings and everything. I was told this by my parents and now that look back at it I laugh but at the time I was told this I was really dissapointed and mad at my parents for lieing to me. My parents told me this when I was about ten because my next door neighbor was telling us a little bit about Santa and how he's not real, but my parents wanted me to hear it from them first, that's how it happened. I use to see Christmas as something more special, and it is still special, but it took away from the whole tradition and special occation. I'm glad they told me but I was so angry to see the holiday's story fade away.
