maths, NVR, VR and the Santa Test

[mystery]

Forget marks in practice papers on maths, NVR, and VR as predictors of 11+ pass or fail. At what age do you think a child should have realised that Santa does not exist to be on the top 25% of the population?

Ho, ho.

Happy Christmas.

about 5 years old?

[Sally-Anne]

The DSs are probably comfortably within the top 25%, but the stockings are laid out on the fireplace, crisp carrots await Donner & Blitzen and Santa will enjoy a nutritious glass of milk during his visit to us.

Santa is not just for Christmas, he is for life!

[hermanmunster]

oo you make me feel bad S-A - I never could lie to the kids so when they determinedly announced at a rather young age that could not be a father christmas as it was impossible to get round the world that quickly, I had to agree with them.

Hasn't spoilt the enjoyment of Xmas though -

[Sally-Anne]

They know alright, although they have never actually said so, because they worked out many years ago that DVDs and PC/XBox/PS3 games and chocolate coins fit very neatly inside the Christmas stockings ...

I still believe in him and I am 53.

Master yoyo announced one year that he didn;t believe and then reverted next year as he reckoned he might not get anything.

[doodles]

Of course he exists ... how dare anybody suggest anything else.

[hermanmunster]

.. um doodles, I don't like to tell you this..... well put it this way - did you ever study physics?

Santa could use the space time continuum to exploit the amount of time he has in one night,and stretch it out to over 6 months or more. Santa may scientifically reverse grow presents through nanotechnology. And utilizing it he could save
time, save space in his bagand reduce the amount of weight from his sleigh.

Oh thanks - that explains it .... any chance he could take over the housework?
