May 1^st was National Honesty Day, the day where a person may ask another person any question they like and that person has to provide a truthful and straightforward answer. Now, I am not sure about you, but this sounds dangerous to me.  Picture it now … “Do these pants make my ass look fat?” You politely, automatically say no, but it’s National Honesty Day and you’re thinking, “The pants have nothing to do with it. Your ass was working alone on this one.” Now, if you say that, being honest, it is likely that you are going to lose a friend or fat ass is going to punch you … hard.

I think little white lies were invented for a really good reason … to save people’s feelings and prevent total chaos in the world. If everyone were completely honest, all of the time, I think friendships would end, relationships would suffer, businesses would fold and the world would probably implode.

My Son likes to Sing “Let It Go” so Let it GO.

My five-year old son has loved the movie Frozen since we first sat down in the theater the day the movie was released. I would venture to say, he loves it even more than my daughter. He was thrilled when it was finally released digitally, so much so we bought the streaming version on Amazon even earlier than the DVD release. Needless to say, my house is a constant echo of “Let It Go” and “Do you Wanna Build a Snowman”, in the hallways, the shower, even with friends in the backyard.  Yet, it is not always my daughter’s voice I hear, mangling the words, it is just as often Ethan’s.

So just the other night in Target, we were standing in an aisle, Ethan was singing the song as he usually does and a man and woman standing next to us kind of chuckled. The woman noted how cute it was, to which the man said, “Yea, because he is only four. It wouldn’t be so cute if he was twelve and still singing it” and he laughed. I, however, did not. (He is five, by the way, jerk-off.)
