Easter ‘10

Dear Celina: Girl, are you for real? Kids don’t believe in anything anymore. They don’t believe that a t-shirt can cost less than $49; they don’t believe that Gatorade is good for them; and they definitely don’t believe that Santa, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy exist. Kids today are civilized. They compost. They play Chatroulette. They are not worried about K-Mart commercials or holiday baskets.

The vast majority of children believe whatever adults tell them. Like Amanda said (in so many words), “Lie to them. It works.” There’s no reason to freak out about commercials, because kids today have the Internet. It’s only a matter of time before they stop believing in the Easter Bunny anyway, whether they see it on TV or read about it on a hand held device. So don’t blame K-Mart for pointing out the inevitable. They’re just trying to sell some awesome baskets and tasty candy. 

Sincerely,
STFU, Parents
