How do I deal with this huge let down?

My mom had to tell me this morning that Gremlins aren't real:(. I always thought the cute little furry things were real and they just lived in the amazon or something. I am a teenager and these are the best years if my life, but this just knocks my hopes and dreams out of the park. I was thinking about breeding Gremlins and selling them to the army so they could feed them after midnight to fire at the Iranians. I reallly have nothing else to believe in.
