I was walking with my family at the zoo when we saw deer, and my husband said to my children, "Kids, look at the reindeer!" I ARGUED with him in front of loads of people, telling him that reindeer do NOT exist; they're part of the whole Santa thing! These are DEER, not reindeer!" I finally caught on after many people started looking at me strangely... and I was well over twenty-five at the time. :)
