Funny enough, 'mythology' didn't fool me, but folklore did for a time. I totally wanted to believe in aliens and bigfoot.
I was in love with Greek Mythology, and I never thought once that it was anything more than a story.
When I figured out that Santa wasn't real around age 7, I asked my mom if the rest of the folklore characters were also fake. She admitted to all of them, except for when we got to whether or not Jesus was real.
