i suppose you weren't allowed to have imaginary friends, play space or any other things your extreme reality based parents think is illogical and a waste of time. i used to think telling kids santa was real was wrong but now i see its just letting kids be kids. no need to suck the fun out of life and be all serious when you're five. you can believe in santa, you can believe in fairies, you can believe that you an turn into a werewolf during a full moon, you can believe in ghosts. you can get scared by a story around a campfire. its all just good fun.
