lies I have told my children
1. We can't afford that. (Translation: I don't feel like buying that for you.)
2. You need to leave Mommy alone so she can work. (does reading blogs and updating Facebook count as "work"?)
3. Coffee and soda are not OK for kids, but they are fine for grown-ups. (I know they're not good for grown-ups either, but they don't know that. Yet.)
4. Oh, were you calling me? I didn't hear you. (I heard you. I just didn't feel like answering right then).
5. I don't know what happened to the last cookie. Maybe Daddy ate it. (I know exactly what happened to it. And how many bites it took me.)

You always make me chuckle to myself. :)
Ah, yes, I've said them all. My latest lie is to tell the boy that we can only check out one Wii game at a time from the library -- it's my rule, not theirs, but I like blaming them.
I totally count blogs and facebook as work!!! But Ethan has found me out, Russ asked me what I did today once and Ethan blurts out, "She spent the WHOLE day on the computer reading blogs!" Okay, not the WHOLE day.
Solidarity, Fib Mamas! :)
