I get that, too...the disbelief of my disbelief thing. My mom actually says things like, "You certainly believed back when...(insert story of my youth)", as if one can't stop believing at some point. My Grandma says that I believe, but I'm denying it to myself. I will let myself believe again some day.

I leave them to it. It makes them happier to hold on to that, I guess.
