Yeah, I believed in Santa Claus for a bit, but then word got round my school that he didn't exist. That caused all sorts of conspiracy theories about who it really was, the Post Office, the Government, etc. When I figured out it was my parents, at about 6 or 7, I kept pretending I believed, because I thought it would make them happy. Cray bit of role reversal, huh?
