As a kid I had a couple of fairy-tale books but I understood they were fairy tales. I pretty much always knew fiction from reality. Likewise, I knew the Easter Bunny wasn't leaving colored eggs. So I think much of it, from my perspective, was harmless.
Say what... the Easter Bunny didn't leave those colored eggs? And no Tooth Fairy? OMG, what will I find out next...that Kukla, Fran & Ollie weren't real?

Whaaaa.... now you've gone and done it... you've gone and shattered the fond memories of my childhood. I'll never be the same again!
