The worst part is, there is nothing I despise more than a liar.

| My daughter Bella - She is indeed 7 and not 8 like I said on my Vlog! |
Nope, mine was a big lie. I feel horrible about it too. Mainly because I didn't even realize I did it!
Yesterday, I did a Vlog... and in there, I caught myself lying. But I only caught it after I had already put hours of work into my Vlog and even had it published for several hours. And frankly, I have no intention of going back and trying to redo it. So that is why I am here today, letting everybody else know that I am a liar!
So this is indeed my correction. My lovely daughter that I mentioned in my Vlog is not actually 8... she is 7.
I can hear the gasps now....
"What kind of parent doesn't know how old there child is!"
Well, I guess that I am that kind of parent.
And what excuses do I have? I can think of a million.
- I have been writing a book and my main character's daughter is 8 years old. Maybe that is the reason why I suddenly thought my daughter was 8 even though she was 7.
- She acts older than 7. Nothing about her screams 7. It screams more like... I am 8.
- I hit my head a couple weeks ago. Maybe I do have a brain injury.
- On top of a potential brain injury, I have also been fending off this cold that my son seems insistent on giving to me. Maybe it is the cold.
- I have exhausted my brain from everything going on lately, that I am in a brain fog.
- Holidays equal stress and stress can affect your memory.
- She has been planning her birthday party since her last birthday, so maybe I already mentally turned her 8.
- The pie that I ate was getting too old so I am actually getting delirious off of food poisoning!
Yep... those are my excuses. But the reality is... I still lied. So I am fessing up. But being that I have 3 kids, I am sure it won't be the first time I mess up.
Hey, I even occasionally call them the wrong name! I am only human!
I've done that! Hey cut yourself some slack - with three kids those numbers are constantly changing:). Every time I schedule and appointment at the Pediatrician they ask "what's their BD?" And I'm like you're lucky I know which one for sure...what is this a pop quiz? Damn!
ReplyDeleteHahaha
I am starting to wonder if old age is setting in too... I have found that I am having a hard time remembering dates lately too! What's up with that! LOL
DeleteStacy this was too funny, but can totally understand. I am lucky I know my own name somedays and swear if my head wasn't screwed on, i'd lose that, too. Hey, at least you caught it and fessed up :)
ReplyDeleteI had my head screwed on a few years ago, but I think they used faulty screws! ha ha ha! I swear though, my brain has been in such a fog. When I watched the video over ... after I had published it.. I was like... seriously... I can't believe I said my daughter was 8!
DeleteLol! I agree with Kelly - cut yourself some slack! I've messed up on the ages and mix up their names pretty regularly these days. I'm not proud of it or anything, but I can't seem to stop. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it must be a knew form of sickness! LOL
DeleteI ALWAYS call my kids by the wrong name...I think it's the 3 kid thing. After I had #3, that was it. Sometimes, I say, "Daniel, I mean Jason, I mean Matthew!" until I get it right. And sometimes even the dog's name gets mixed up in there too! I appreciate your honesty, but I don't at all consider that "lying." You are simply a Mom!!
ReplyDeleteMy dad used to always do that to us... oh wait... he still does. Maybe it is genetics! :)
DeleteHahahaha. You're hilarious! I'd use all those excuses and then some. I also thought that with five other brothers and sisters that my name invariably started with any number of consonants before my parents were able to spit my name out. All the names of my brothers and sisters would come first. HAHAHA.
ReplyDeleteYou mean to tell me my name isn't Pajecrycastacy? And after all these years! ;)
DeleteHilarious! For years, I always confused my son's birthday (02/29, rather than 02/27), and considering there ISN'T an 02/29, this created some missed birthday opportunities. Bad mom...BAD. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI am starting to mess up on the birthday dates. Good thing my mom fills out the calendar that she gives us every year for Christmas! :)
DeleteThat is awesome! A few weeks ago I posted something on my FB page about my 5 yo and my husband commented, "Um, honey, she's six." Oops.
