Lies, Lies, and More Lies

A conversation between two of my students today at the end of the day:

Her: You know what? My mom told me that she’s the tooth fairy. That’s why the tooth fairy won’t take my tooth.


Him: REALLY?!?

Her: Yeah. AND in April, she told me that she’s the Easter Bunny, too. Sheesh. She sure is a lot of things that I didn’t know. But, she isn’t Santa. Santa’s REAL.

Him: Yeah! And they tell US not to lie! They say that we can’t lie but they lie about all kinds of stuff!

Her: Yeah… They DO lie about all kinds of stuff! But, Santa’s real.

Him: Yeah… Santa’s real.
