Then again, I couldn't imagine having my childlike innocence warped by 400 years of genocide..."And we celebrate Thanksgiving because Squanto (can you kids say Squanto? Squan...to...) gave us turkey and corn and fish and such wonderful things to eat! A few weeks later, we infected their entire tribe with smallpox and slaughtered them by the dozens, something we would continue to do for the next 200 years!"
Ignorance is bliss, until you discover Santa Claus isn't real. And married to the Tooth Fairy. With 3 kids. (Living in a run-down apartment in Hoboken, NJ, and missing car payments on his 1996 Chevy Beretta...I'm taking this too far.)
