Hahahahahahah! That is so cute and would you believe on Father's Day of all days, I do not have another six left. I used them all up today in between having company here.
What an adorable story and she is so darn cute too. Ok, if she is telling you your butt looked big, I can imagine what she would say to me in story today. And adorable poem earlier too that I think I reviewed lNow my kids tell me if my butt looks big. Hahahaha, I'm truly astonished at your writing talent too.

This one-hundred-word (or so) story, Little Lies, makes the word count and reveals one of those moments when you can be both happy and sad with your child's progress.

This story made me laugh! It seems there is a time and place for tiny lies, but I'd take brutal honesty most of the time. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

You asked the main question women should never ask anyone. You will receive either a lie or the brutal truth.

When my daughter was young, I asked if something made me look old. She said, "Yes. You look old like Laverne and Shirley." (the TV show) I hadn't asked for all that.

Young children tell stories based on their vivid imagination, AND when asked, they tell the truth. This is a great true story. Best wishes in the contest.

LOL I couldn't help but laugh at this contest entry. It's funny and children have the incredible habit of telling the truth when we really don't want to hear it. LOL I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

-I assume that is your daughter.
-She looks like you.
-You told a very good story.
-A very good opening paragraph,
followed by your idea to talk to
her about truth, which was a good thing to do.
-The ending is priceless as you ask her
about how you look in your dress.
-She sounds very adult with her response,
and she took your advice to heart.
-A very good entry; good luck in the contest.
-I enjoyed reading it, Jess.

Hahahaha. Well, that certainly came back to bite you, did it not?! I've always maintained that if you ever want to honestly know how you look, simply ask a child. There will be no malice in their answer - just candor.

You do a very fine job with this True Story Flash, Jessica, and I hope to see it in the Winner's Circle! Good luck. xo

Well, there you are; she's doing exactly what you told her to! White lies are sometimes difficult to explain to young children, but tact can be missing too. My old dad was tactless. So are two of his descendants. It can take you aback... but there are worse traits.

What a beautiful little girl, absolutely oozing character and innocence. She obviously has her mother's imagination and meant no harm originally, just wanting to colour the truth a tad. Now that she's been told about the importance of telling the truth, she's obviously yet to learn the niceties of social intercourse! Bless her, it's a very perplexing lesson! A great contender! Good luck, Jess! Debbie

Well, you did ask her to tell the truth, that is ever a dilemma, telling someone they have physical, if one is older we can squirm out of it, this is very amusing and a winner in my book, well done Jessica,, blessings Roy
