Quote from Marie in The Ball
Marie: My own son an atheist? Ray: Not an atheist, Mom. I just don't believe in lying to my kids. Marie: Oh, you stop being foolish. Now you go in there and tell Ally all about Santa Claus his flying reindeer his sled and all the rest of that malarkey. Ray: I don't think that that's the right thing. Marie: Oh, what's the matter with you? Ray: Nothing's the matter. I'm just protecting her. Marie: Oh, protecting her from what? We didn't have that Santa Claus discussion until you were 14 years old. Ray: Yeah, but I knew about Santa when I was eight. What did you wait till I was 14 for? Marie: Well, your father wanted to cover sex and Santa all at once. Sort of get it over with. Ray: Yeah, don't think that hasn't had repercussions.
