Good point, Katrina – I think your first sentence clarifies the issue. There’s a different between fiction and lies. There’s a difference between telling a child that a thing COULD BE and that a thing IS.

teaching a kid to have an active imagination vs teaching them something is REAL when it isn’t. Why don’t we just tell our kids from the getgo that the sky is green. They will totally believe us. And then when they find out it isn’t and they are treated like an idiot at school they will remember it is the PARENT that betrayed them.

Kids are literal, they like facts. Imagination is WONDERFUL, blind belief in something that they will for sure find out is not true is lying.

Sounds good to me.

Don’t be too excited, it is a random blog of randomness. 🙂 I find many strange things that make me want to sing praises, and I view this blog as a place to put these things.

Yay! I was wondering if you were going to get one. About time!
