Markus today when coming back from his play-date: “Papi, is Santa Claus a holy man?”
Me: “Yes, Markus, I think so”.
Markus: “So then he must be dead already, right? and he is now something like a ghost!”.
Me: “Yes, that sounds right.”
Markus: “But ghosts cannot touch anything. So, how did he eat the cookies and drink the milk?”.
Me: “.. and also bring the presents. Hmm… what are you saying? Do you think there is something wrong?”
Markus: “Yes, I think people are lying!”
Me: “Really? What are people lying about?”
Markus: “I think ghosts can actually touch things. This is how Santa does his magic.”
