"The Polar Express isn't real"...

... announced my recently-turned 5-year-old daughter.

"It's make-believe. You know THIS." (Emphasis intentional)

As I listened to my daughter explain this, her head was cocked and her hands were firmly on her hips. She continued, with her face making very dramatic expressions,

"You know how it works. People draw pictures and then they talk in booths. It's all make-believe like unicorns, and the Cubs."

On an unrelated note... anyone know where you can buy coal? I recently had to revise someones Christmas list.
