Which fictional character (from a book, comic book, TV show, or movie) did you want to be? Why?
I’ve always loved strong characters, like Daenerys Targaryen from “Game of Thrones” and Raquel Murillo from “Money Heist.” Daenerys never gives up and fights for what’s right, while Raquel faces tough challenges with courage and intelligence. They teach me to stand up for my beliefs and never quit, no matter what.
When did you learn that Santa Claus/the Easter Bunny/the Tooth Fairy was your parents? How did you figure it out?
When I was little, I believed in the tooth fairy, a cherished tradition my parents introduced to me. They told me that if I placed my milk teeth under my pillow or in the soil, I would wake up to find coins in their place. However, instead of coins, I would discover a delightful toffee, a special treat from my father or grandfather. Those moments were precious, and I miss them dearly.
Now, as a parent myself, it’s my joy to carry on these delightful traditions with my own children. We keep the magic alive with the tooth fairy’s visits and the excitement of hunting for Easter eggs. And when Christmas rolls around, my daughter knows that Santa’s secret identity is none other than her beloved school teacher, donning a jolly red suit and fluffy white beard at the school’s festive celebration. These traditions may evolve over time, but the laughter, excitement, and joy they bring remain as timeless as ever, weaving a tapestry of warmth and happiness in our family’s hearts.
