No more internet at work
It's been going through the grapevine at work (where I currently am writing this blog) that employees have been taking advantage of the internet, and they may be monitoring it, and there is a possibility that we may lose internet privileges. Oh dear. Too bad my work is done and I have nothing else to do, but play on the internet. They must be talking about those other people I always see on the internet instead of working.
Fairy Tales
I also work at a bridal gallery. So I am constantly working with brides striving to create their fairytale wedding. My sister recently talked to me about her current relationship. She mentioned a conversation she with him and it felt like a fairytale. Well it's over now. Another sister is missing her boyfriend terribly. He's serving a mission for our church. Her fairytale dream would be for him to come home and ride off with her on the back of his white horse. So it seems to me everyone just wants to be rescued. Do fairy tales really happen? It seems to me we create our own destinies. I do know there will be a happily ever after. It just can't happen if we're only waiting around for it.
David's mom's aunt's weed
Mother-in-law and sister-in-law went down to visit M-I-L's mom and aunt this past weekend. They often go down on Sundays to play cards. Grandma was complaining of being in pain, so S-I-L suggested she simply take some weed to feel better. To which great aunt got up and went to her bedroom. She came back with a bag of it and tossed it on the table. "It's about 5 or 6 years old, but it might still be good!"
Tooth Fairy
My five year old sis lost her first tooth this weekend. It reminded me of when my 20 year old sis learned the tooth fairy wasn't real. She woke up one night to find her dad switching out her tooth for some money. She asked him if he was the tooth fairy. When he told her he was she started sobbing! When he finally got her calmed down and asked her why she was so upset she replied, "I can't believe you leave us here alone every night to go get teeth from other kids!"
What is it that causes us to pass these lies down to our children?
What lies do you plan on telling your kids?
Thank you...
Thank you to my friend and fellow blogger RC for introducing me to pyzam.com. Without it I wouldn't have this spify new backround.
