我比较认同,或者希望的情景,是这样的:
父母还是很保护着孩子,把丑陋的邪恶的,能多掩盖一些就掩盖一些,能拖延一年就拖延一年。告诉孩子们,有 Santa Clause, 有 Tooth Fairy, 有 Barbie & Ken
孩子呢,其实早就知道这些是谎言,但他们认识到父母的这些‘谎言’是善意的,可能也乐呵呵的配合着,‘扮演’父母眼中的乖乖孩子。
在 winnie the pooh 的结尾,小 Christopher Robin 说,"Well, it's when people call out at you just as you're going off to do it, 'What are you going to do, Christopher Robin?' and you say, 'Oh, Nothing,' and then you go and do it."
