Little White Lie

This is going to hurt me worse than its going to hurt you

That's the one that got me since I couldn't sit down after getting swatted but Mom and Dad didn't seem to have any difficulty with it. :/

Although we have fun at Christmas Eve we go and take my boots and a some flour on a plate to make "snow tracks" from the door (since we don't have a fireplace) to the Christmas tree. Boot goes into the flour, and then straight down onto the carpet leaving a really good boot print in white on the rug and carpet. So you can see the path that Santa took to place presents. My daughter loves seeing that every Christmas morning.

If you've got kids around the holidays give it a try. It will blow their little minds. First time she woke up and went to see the presents she stopped dead in her tracks and stared with a look of utter shock on her face because that was proof that the big guy from the North Pole came to visit. Though its tough after midnight service to do all that but its worth it. She knows the real reason and Santa shares gifts to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

My older daughter told my youngest that she was found in the cow field. I may even have heard her say it and thought they were just playing. Then one day when Allison was 4 or 5 she was having a crying fit about something. She said she was going to run away to find her real parents. When I asked what she meant she replied hysterically that "Jessica told me the real story. That you found me in the cow field." My poor baby grew up thinking she was not really ours. Somehow she grew up happy and healthy after being scarred by a child's prank.

My Daddy told me that broccoli was little trees. This same man told me that beans were rabbit poop. He also put food coloring in our milk to get us to drink it. It automatically tasted better!

When I was a teenager, my mother told me that people can tell if a girl is sexually active because she gets bowlegged. I have had a few good laughs over this, but it caused me some concern at the time!

That gave me a good laugh this am.

My mom used to tell my sister and I, if we didn't keep our ears clean potatoes would grow in them. Not sure where that came from LOL.

and if you were bad before X-mas you got a bag of coal in your stocking! for some people these days that's not a bad item to get as a gift!

I have some friends in Scotland who would love to have a bag of coal. They have no trees to cut for firewood anymore.

but they have plenty of peat! wait, they use that to make their Scotch!

I asked them about that, naturally. The mother doesn't drink, and the daughter doesn't like whiskey, actually prefers capn morgan go figure! Lol!
