"I believe!

Any GP in the same predicament would tell you the same thing.

I took a few days this week to visit the grandkids in Arizona, finding the daughter upset when I arrived. She had just taken the 7-Eleven Kid and the twins to see the movie "We Bought a Zoo."

I remember as a parent how upset I was when I had to sit through dumb kid movies just because I was a father.

But she was angry because Matt Damon, the father in the movie, was saying he had a 7-year-old daughter who still thinks the Easter Bunny exists.

Well, the 7-Eleven Kid is six and when she smiles these days it's pretty obvious the Tooth Fairy recently paid her a visit.

She doesn't need Matt Damon ruining her fantasy world. The day will come when her mother explains how every girl dreams of Prince Charming only to settle for a Grocery Store Bagger.

When the 7-Eleven Kid asked me about the Easter Bunny, I told her a story about a loser who overnight becomes a sensation.

"Cinderella?" she said.

"Sterling," I told her. "Donald Sterling.

"I believe he will be the owner of one of the teams playing for the NBA championship this season," I said. "Maybe he gets a trophy and announces he's going to buy another fabulous apartment building in triumph, and to really celebrate, he's going to approve anyone as a tenant.""
