Lies I've Told My Children

Barney is broken. So is Caillou. So is Caillou's Holiday Movie. Deweys Pizza doesn't have lemonade on the menu. They didn't have apple juice at Trader Joe's. The pool is closed. They didn't have apple juice at Target. Trader Joe's is out of juice samples. Yes. It’s possible that Mom has a cousin who is half human, half animal, and just forgot. There’s no vegetables in carrot ginger soup. Santa does not send the Elf on the Shelf to houses until the oldest child turns 5. They didn't have apple juice at Walgreens. There's no vegetables in that smoothie. Just apple juice. And lemonade. We know there are no monsters because Easy is quiet. Remember how loud Easy barked at the mail carrier? Just think how loud she would bark at a monster.  If you get a booboo on your big toe and your toenail falls off, if you put it under your pillow, the toenail fairy will come and bring you a surprise.
