I was at school, and started a conversation with another kid about Santa, and he said, "Santa's just your parents." And that made sense to me, and I said, "Oh." And I didn't believe in Santa any more. I don't remember any particular emotional reaction; it just seemed like an obvious answer I hadn't previously noticed.
