>> James: NEIL, DID YOU AND
YOUR WIFE W YOUR CHILDREN, ARE
YOU SCIENTIFIC WITH THE FACTS OR
DO YOU GO WITH MYTHS LIKE THE
TOOTH FAIREY.
>> MY WIFE HAS A Ph.D IN
MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS.
>> James: RIGHT.
>> SO THE EXPERIMENTATION WE DID
ON OUR KIDS-- .
>> James: AND THE NIGHT TOOK A
REAL TURN.
>> NO, NO, I WILL GIVE AN
EXAMPLE.
WHEN THE TEETH START COMING OUT
WA, DO YOU DO.
SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO LIE TO
THEM, ALL RIGHT.
BECAUSE THE UNIVERSE IS AMAZING
NUFER THAT TO INVENT STUFF JUST
TO KEEP KIDS ENTERTAINED.
SO WHAT WE SAID WAS WE HEARD
THAT IF YOU PUT YOUR TOOTH UNDER
THE PILLOW TOOTH FAIRY COMES.
WE ARE NOT SURE, WE JUST HEARD.
WE PUT THE TOOTH ON THE PILLEE,
SWAPPED IT OUT, LOOK, MOMMY,
DADDY, THE TOOTH FAIRY CAME.
WE SAID HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WAS
THE TOOTH FAIRY.
AND THEN SHE THOUGHT ABOUT T OH,
NO, I DON'T KNOW, I JUST KNOW
THAT THERE IS MONEY HERE.
SO SHE STARTED SETTING UP BOOBY
TRAPS FOR THE TOOTH, LIKE KRING
ELY ALUMINUM FILE ON THE GROUND
SO SHE WOULD WAKE UP, SHE HAD
ONE OF THESE DREAM CATCHERS
HOPING SHE COULD CATCH THE FAIRY
IN THE DREAM CATCHER.
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK.
AT SCHOOL SHE GOT TOGETHER WITH
HER FRIENDS AND SAID WE THINK IT
MIGHT BE OUR PARENTS WHO ARE
DOING THIS.
IF IT IS, WHOEVER IS TOOTH COMES
OUT AT SCHOOL, DON'T TELL YOUR
PARENTS.
PUT THAT TOOTH UNDER THE PILLOW
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT
DAY.
AND IT STAYED A TOOTH.
SO THEY PERFORMED THE EXPERIMENT
TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE PARENTS
ARE THE TOOTH FAIRY.
AND I WAS THINKING THIS IS HOW
ADULTS SHOULD BEHAVE, OKAY.
(APPLAUSE)
TO DISTINGUISH FANTASY FROM
REALITY.
AND DON'T TELL ME THAT OH, THEY
NEED THE TOOTH FAIRY, FOR
CHILDHOOD.
THEY PLAY WITH DOLLS S A GIRL
THINKING THAT THE BARBIE IS
REAL, THIS PLASTIC-- NO, IT IS
SOMETHING THEY PLAY WITH AND
IMAGINE WITH.
BUT ARE YOU NOT LYING TO EM
THIS.
ARE YOU NOT SAYING THIS IS
ACTUALLY REAL.
NO, THEY CAN USE THEIR
IMAGINATION, FOR THINGS WHERE
IMAGINATION BELONGS BUT NOT SOME
HOAX PERPETRATED BY ADULTS ON
CHILDREN.
>> James: WOW, THAT WAS A MUCH
DEEPER QUESTION.
