i love how i never ever lied before. now it’s all “KID. go upstairs and you can watch Dora and run around naked singing at the top of your lungs. deal?” and i never let her sing at the TOP of her lungs – only like 90%.
Nannies have to sign this contract too, but when we’re really pissed off at the parents, we’ve been known to break it. bwahahah I only did that once … after being invited to join the (Mormon) parents in their bed while we were on vacation. The very last day I mentioned that their parents were Santa AND the Tooth Fairy … I still smile when I think about it. I am evil sometimes. I will be in hell, no worries about that.
You are so going to hell. I say that in an admiring way.
I wish I could do it…I still remember that sort of conversation with Calvin&Hobbs dad, but I figure I just don’t have the humor to do it. Drat the luck.
I don’t know how you come up with all this new stuff constantly. You must have fascinating dinner conversation with the kids. Parent code, what a hoot.
You are a dark one. C’mon, tell how you not only break the code but then you teach them all the WRONG lyrics to the little songs we know and love.
Santa Claus is Coming To Town
Jingle Bells
Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail
…the Sperm Song!
You are the reason I decided to always tell my kid the truth and then Grover got all pissed and … in fact I think he still holds a grudge about the Santa thing.
When I was a kid my parents told me that all the oil spots I saw on the streets and parking lots were where some kid didn’t hold their mom’s hand and got hit by a car. I know…unbelievably cruel, right???? I’m going to have to try that one with my kids.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and showing some love and support. You rock!
Bwahahahahaaaa!! I lie to my kids all the time, mostly for fun, never about anything truly important.
I once told them that if they “didn’t behave in the car I would pull over and drop them off on the side of the road like I did with their brother Bruce”….”But we don’t have a brother Bruce”…..”not anymore ya don’t, now pipe down back there”….LOL
Of course now they know that Bruce is fictious and mom’s a big fat liar but they laugh about it so at least they ‘get it’…
this is hilarious. i love telling my kids, well my son mostly since he understands more the truth of things. ;) my mom is always telling me that he is a child and somethings he needs to believe or think… but i only fill him in on the things like you did with your kids at dinner. i wouldn’t ruin GREAT things for him like Santa and Easter Bunny stuff only nonsense crap that other stupid people tell him. :) i like being honest with him… it makes me feel so powerful!! :)
hugs, jenn
Enjoy their belief while it lasts! Sissy is 12-going-on-President of the world, and she totally disbelieves in my pathetic sneaky attempts!

Wednesday, 27 February, 2008 at 21:35I broke the code when I told my oldest that Santa didn’t exist, before he even had a chance to believe in him.
I broke the code when I called out the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and basically every other thing a kid might look forward too in childhood.
I’m a craptastic Mom!
You on the other hand OWN THIS!
