I've gotten old enough that I now understand why adults seek to escape reality. Paradoxically, I think I was better at escaping reality when I was younger.

Oh, I thought this article was going to be about why we tell kids there is a Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Stork, and Tooth Fairy. Really, what would happen if I told my little Ghost the truth? Probably get suspended from school after they make the rest of the class cry... even if they have mathematical proofs to back it up.
