I had a break between meetings so I picked up Emmie from school today. She was a chatty box as usual and apparently today is fact-checking-with-mama day.
E: leprechaun’s pee is green! He came to my school and peed in the bathroom! Mama, why didn’t leprechaun come to our house? Is leprechaun real?
A: hmmmm. Did your teacher say leprechaun went to your school?
E: yeah!
A: yeah, leprechaun is real (I can’t be that person whose kid is running around saying the teacher lied)
E: do you know Easter bunny? Is Easter bunny real?
A: yeah! Easter bunny will come next Sunday! He will hide some eggs and you can find them!
E: mama do you know tooth fairy?
A: of course! Tooth fairy only comes when you lose a tooth though.
E: is tooth fairy real?
A: yeah! I think so!
E: I like unicorn it’s so pretty. Is unicorn real?
A: (now we draw the line) oh baby, pls, unicorn is not real it’s in cartoons!
Is there a cheat sheet listing what’s real vs not?!!
