Too much of a good thing

My little science enthusiast has started questioning the existence of Santa clause! I really don't know what to tell him, if I confirm that his suspicion had been right, he would go and announce that in his class. I don't want to be the cause of destruction  of the entire class' belief system!

He has been questioning all stories from the puranas lately. A few months ago, his grandfather was telling him the story of Ramayana. On hearing that Ravana had 10 heads , he laughed and said.
"Achacha, arenkilum angane undavo..?" Will there be anybody like that?

Last month when his first tooth fell, he refused to take the money from the tooth fairy.
"I don't want any tooth fairy to take away my tooth, you give me money, I'll take it."
As simple as that! But we are living in a country where the tooth fairy keeps track of little children's lose teeth with unfailing punctuality!

The other day he was explaining the structure of an egg carton to his grandfather over skype. And his grandfather in an attempt to tease him, asked if the hen would go and deliver her eggs in a carton to the super market. Navneeth explained that the hen's brain is too small and hence the hen cannot do such complicated tasks!

Ever since his father had been too kind to explain him the digestive system,  he says that the acids of his stomach are not working properly, whenever he doesn't want to eat!

Sometimes after hurrying through his morning prayers, he would look at me and ask me the one question I really don't want him to ask.
"Amme, Swami sarikkum undo..?" Is God real?
