Little Lies -- Monday Toads -- Two Shoes Tuesday
.
Little White LiesIt's a little fib I tell
sure it won't send me to Hell
Santa comes in the middle
of the night--to bed, be quick
It won't hurt, nurse's needle
not even a little bit
I am fit as a fiddle
everyone falls--I'm not sick
Hello Satan sir. Yes sir,
there will be no lying here

I never thought of Santa as being a lie. A legend, a fairytale, a bedtime story...not a lie.
And fortunately, Auntie Kay never had to take a niece or nephew to have a needle. Not sure what I would have said.
You've got me thinking here.

And thanks for visiting my post for Mama Zen's #8 at Real Toads today.
Cool, Jim........yes, I always had trouble with all that too - however I tried to explain, once the kids found out the truth, that Santa was about "a giving spirit" . Sigh. I remember when I was nine and read an advertising flyer attached to a case of Coke, about Santa not being real and I was outraged - showed it to my mom and she had to tell me it was true. Fast forward to when I was a mom and my son lost a tooth - by the time I went upstairs to put some money under his pillow, I was really tired, and he was in the top bunk. And I couldnt find the tooth....felt around under the pillow, nudged him over, finally the Tooth Fairy could be heard muttering, "Jon, WHERE'S THE DAMN TOOTH?" Cackle. Not my finest hour!
Here's a story you may like, given your comments about the wolves being killed. (Thanks, Jim, it just kills me, too.) My friend said a friend of hers was outside the other day filleting a salmon when suddenly he realized rain was falling on him but no where else. He looked up and saw a bear up in the tree who was PEEING on him! Hilarious! But sad, too, as they are coming into town a lot now which means they are hungry - hungry even before winter begins.
I really enjoyed your poem!! It made me smile...oh yes, I'm guilty on the Santa, needle stick and "oh, no, I'm feeling fine" lies...all! Oh what's a mama to do?? These are all in a day's work in the life of a mama! Really great poem!
Cool poem! I like the Christmas theme. : )
Human nature is a tricky thing, Mr. Jim!
Santa is arriving with gifts :)
