my first lie

I am not especially proud of this but, today, I told my first real lie. This was different than when I spin elaborate tales of going to the beach and meeting a green shark with really sharp teeth and, oh, its name happens to be Brad. I swim with sharks. I cuddle with them too.

This was a real lie.

I have a cold right now. On our way to the store to buy California Baby Cold and Flu bubble bath, we talked about whether I would ride in the shopping cart or the stroller. I was holding out for the cart but my mom refused because she didn't want me to spread my germs around to the kids who would ride in the cart after me. I told my mom "I am not sick. I feel good." Plus, shopping carts are generally disgusting.

In the end, I did reluctantly agree to the stroller. If only other mothers would keep their contagious kids out of the shopping carts too.

Don't forget to wash your hands!
