Jenni – this made me laugh so much I had to read it to my husband!! It reminds me of his parents and some of the lies they told him. LOL great story! Please let me know when you write your own book!

Here’s to Mr and Mrs Jenni’s Parents!! Your creativity has left me speechless . . . with tears of laughter running down my face. I asked my kids if my “lies” left them feeling betrayed or deceived. They simple laughed and said seriously Mom that is all part of childhood. I challenge Jenni to revisit this blog in twenty years and compare her “lies” (cause believe me there will be “lies”) to her parents and see who was the more resourceful and imaginative parent.

Wow! Since youn put all the evidence out so concisely, I only have one thing to say…I was one smart Mommy! All I ever got growing up was the threat of the “Cookuy” as the motivation to make me fall in line.

I double dare you to out smart me and we’ll let YOUR kids be the judge

I love you Jenni,

Mom

What a great read, Jenni.
My feelings toward your parents can be summed up as envy and awe.
The closest I ever came to these creative “crowd control” measures was to threaten Steve and Corey that Ish Kabibble was in town, looking for misbehaving children to rat out to Santa Claus. (Ish, really the name of a big band leader, was a mythical Santa’s helper whose existence I stole from my best friend’s family.)
How lame compared to the genius of the evil supermarket CEO, who works for me on sociological and political levels, too. I am completely envious that I didn’t think of the “demon doll” excuse to avoid the Small World ride. Our season passes to the Happiest Place on Earth meant we could ride it ALL THE TIME. Even your mention of the ride has that insidious tune invading my brain. It will probably take all day and a good dose of “Air Supply” to get it out. I even find myself wishing my parents had come up with the “no skin” rule for chicken instead of allowing my sisters and me to eat the barbecued fat off of our steaks. Think of how thin I’d be!
So here’s to big fat liars. May they continue to inspire their children to reflect on their foibles and to provide the rest of us with little moments of delight like the one I just had.

Now you know what it means when it says “the sins of the parents will be visited on the children and the children’s children”. This is the same stuff my Mom and Dad did to me! BTW, who the heck is Ace of Bass anyway?

Love you,
Dad

This entry provided me endless amount of entertainment. I was IN LOVE with Ace of Base and Fred Savage. Also, the best lie my parents told me as a child: When my hamster died they told me the vet was going to bury it in a special graveyard that no animals can get to so its soul would be safe from coyotes and cats. You KNOW that vet just tossed that little hamster body in the trash somewhere, and it took me years to realize the harsh, sad truth. I was 17 when I first thought about it again, and I was livid haha.
