She just didn't have the heart to tell me that it was yucky pollution. I still say "look, they're making clouds!" When I see one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-best-lie-i-have-told-my-kids#post-577805 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:24:03 +0000 MrsH 577805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-best-lie-i-have-told-my-kids#post-577563 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:29:47 +0000 Dandelion 577563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, that's funny!</p> <p>I had some balloons from my shower that I stashed in my closet, so that I wouldn't have to open them, but every time I went into my closet they startled me. I finally just killed them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-best-lie-i-have-told-my-kids#post-577554 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:26:16 +0000 woodentulip 577554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: AMAZING.</p> <p>I can almost picture myself getting to that point!

But then a day or two passes and frankly, the bother me. And she mostly stops playing with them but always wants to know where they are.<br /> Enter the Balloon Fairy.<br /> We made up this magical Balloon Fairy who comes when our kiddos are sleeping and takes the balloons away to other boys and girls who need them.<br /> And we have never had a single protest. It's so matter-of-fact around here. Amazing!<br /> I know one day we will have to spill the beans about this incredible, stupid lie, but man it has saved my sanity so many times! </p>
