Why I'm against deductive reasoning

"Mom, Kadasia said that Santa Claus isn't real. She said it's your parents."

"Well, what do you think?"

"Ummm...I...(laughs nervously) IS IT YOU?"

"Ashlyn, come on! If there was no such thing as Santa then why would everybody go through so much trouble to make you think he's real? Why would everybody make it such a big deal? Why would all those people dress up like Santa at the mall and let kids crawl all over them?"

(thinking hard) "Maybe they're retired and need extra spending money."
