Thou Shalt Not Lie...

After the second time of telling the kids to stop playing in the car (I hate the readjustment of the seat, mirrors, wipers on full blast, lights left on....) I said to them in the most sappy sad voice imaginable, "Ohhhh, that's too bad. I only take kids that listen to McDonald's for dinner." Knowing full well that I was never going to be doing that. Koen just shook it off. Daradie wailed. Did I mention how much she cried? Daradie was just in fits and sobs and wailing. Did I say that she shed a wagon full of tears already?

Fifteen minutes had passed. Daradie comes up to me with the infamous red puffy eyes, "Mom I was waiting for you in the car so we could go to McDonald's." Ummm, interesting. Remember that I lied to her in the first place. "Oh, really. And how did you know that we were going without me telling you?" This is going to be good. "Mom, I felt it in my heart. The Holy Ghost told me."

Great. I just lied to my daughter and now I'm getting the spiritual church card pulled on me.

What a fun story. What do you do in a situation like that? How is the house coming along??? We miss you guys, and Pedro misses his visitors as well, so we ended up getting him a little sister named Lucy.

Your kids are funny. I like their dancing. They have better moves than Joel and me put together.
