I Make Stuff Up

A few years ago, I saw someone wearing a shirt with this phrase on it. I joked with Keith that this shirt would be great for him, as he's always making up random stories just to get a laugh. Now, I'm thinking we need two of this t-shirt in our house - one men's large and one in 2T.

Alex has started making up stories. I don't know whether to celebrate because my little guy discovered his imagination or to punish him for telling lies!

Monday --
"Mom, Alex has a watch. Alex lost it yes-day. Lost it at church. Where it go? Alex lost watch."

Uh-huh, he doesn't even have a watch. (Just to make sure, I asked him where his watch belongs. He pointed to his wrist.)

Tuesday --
We went grocery shopping, and Alex is saying over and over:
"Mama hit somebody's car! Mama hit somebody's car!"

I did no such thing. I did tell him that he needed to stay close to me in the parking lot so that he didn't get hit by a car. Apparently that translates to a car accident in Toddler-Speak.

I can only imagine what might come out of his mouth next. At least if we bought him the t-shirt, we might stand a chance of saving our pride ;)
