I told my friend Carly that, when we were driving to Adelaide from Melbourne, my husband told the kids that there were no McDonalds' restaurants in Adelaide; the McDonalds signs were actually furniture shops. Familiar with his sense of humour, they didn't believe him.
In reply, Carly told me that, when she was a little girl, her parents told her that the ice cream truck only made music when it had run out of ice cream. Unfortunately for her, she believed them.

I wish my children were as gullible as your friend Carly! Fortunately we have no McDonald's for 1/2 hour's drive of here so it's not a temptation that often.
Kate, I don't know whether it's just my computer or whether others find the same problem, but it seems to be quite an ordeal for your blog to load up. It usually takes quite a number of 'refresh' hits to finally get the full page going. Just thought I'd let you know, in case it's not just me. If it is just me...well....I'll continue to refresh away!
Thanks Tracy,
I'll try decluttering the sidebars.
Kate
For the first time in ages, your blog has loaded first go :)
Thanks for the declutter Kate, I very much appreciate it.
I agree with Tracy, your blog does take a while to load. Today was much faster, so thanks for that.
I told DD that raisins were candy. (Well, they ARE sweet--and they are nature's candy!) She believed me for a long while, until the other kids at daycare taught her differently.
She won't eat raisins to this day--and she's 31 now. She will eat Craisins, though, so I think it's just a rebellion thing. lol
How funny! I get a little tired of the ice cream truck and I feel a little sorry for the driver. Cute post!
I can't stop laughing! Thanks for sharing.
I'll have to try the McDonalds thing. My daughter screams 'McDonalds' every time we drive by one. And she would like to stop at every one, too. ugh!
Hilarious! My uncle used to tell us that the water pipelines between our town and the next were actually for Coke! And my best-friend-at-highschool's uncle was a painter and told her he painted all the leaves on the trees! We were completely gullible and believed them! (Well, who expects adults to lie???)
Apparently there's a McDonalds sign on the Nullarbor road that says something like "Next McDonalds 500 kms".
Ick! Imagine your kids giving you hell for 6 hours!
