At that point my wife mentioned the Easter Bunny, also.
Nice. I've always thought playing neutral was the best strategy. If your kiddo ends up being an atheist, it's best that she arrived there through her own questions and reasoning.
How did the conversation with your wife go? Or did you already provide the basic gist?

I never knew you were raised Catholic. Not sure you mentioned it before.
