When I was about seven, I was questioning whether there really was a Santa Claus. So I came up with a gift idea I wanted, told no one, and mailed it to Santa.
Christmas day, I received the gift I wanted. Pretty soon I concluded the Santa Claus mailing address would return letters to parents so they could see what their children were writing.
Joke's on me. While I wasn't paying attention, my grandmother had steamed open the letter. The lesson is, kids are terrible scientists.

This is exactly how I figured it out. Then I confronted my mom and demanded the truth. I wish I never did though :(
Edit: if you came to say that I should have demanded the “tooth,” you are too late.

3 days and you didn’t notice a tooth missing? Must not be the first kid.
