I don't know, maybe it's just me....

But is it that unreasonable to expect that the target audience of a book about a sixth grader would already KNOW Santa doesn't exist? And also that babies do not, in fact, come from the stork?

(Also, when people start pulling out words like "reprehensible" to describe Superfudge, is it wrong of me to give up and point out that you surely KNEW this would be the eventual outcome of telling your kids about Santa and its hardly Judy Blume's fault that this is the bed you made? I mean, honestly, how do people think it's going to work that year when their kids find out?)
