**This version has been updated by daddy.\u00a0 It is possible that mommy won’t read this for a few more hours so enjoy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know my sweet McCanless has a vivid imagination, not solely noticed by her mother, either<\/em>.\u00a0 It was no surprise to me that her teacher noted her love of storytelling, and creative and mature writing ability on her report card for first semester.\u00a0 I have also discovered along the way she has a knack for embellishing the truth, so to speak.\u00a0 “She gets this honestly” –Daddy<\/p>\n

Her first “horrid” blue frog in school (and only I may add)<\/em> was due to a little white lie to her teacher.\u00a0 It was full of details and “embellishments” which only dug her hole deeper and deeper and turned her little white lie into a big old fat lie, to which Mel later replied, “what kid doesn’t lie to their teacher?”\u00a0 GASP!\u00a0 Needless to say, I handled the life lesson and character education with this one!\u00a0 A lesson only learned by experience, though.\u00a0 Lesson learned.\u00a0 Or so I thought.<\/p>\n

Today, I received a few emails and one phone call wishing me congratulations and for the record…<\/p>\n

I am not pregnant.<\/p>\n

“Not yet.” –Daddy<\/p>\n

I am not planning, thinking about, contemplating, dreaming about or hope to be pregnant or become pregnant in the near or distant future.<\/p>\n

“Daddy just has to produce another bedroom and bathroom according to mommy to qualify for having another baby.\u00a0 1 baby = $50,000 addition? ” –Daddy<\/p>\n

Apparently, McCanless’ hope for a new baby sister has extended far beyond our household.\u00a0 For a while now, she has been begging me to have her<\/em><\/strong> a baby sister and I thought that is where it ended.\u00a0 Today, however, I discovered that she has told each of her teachers at school that I am expecting.\u00a0 Her classroom teacher, Ms. Susie, heard all of the details of our plans for adding Marcy, her baby sister, to our family, right down to where little Marcy will sleep.<\/p>\n

“Daddy had nothing to do with this.\u00a0 Honestly.” –Daddy<\/p>\n

Ms. Crouch, the librarian even sent me an email to congratulate me on our great news.\u00a0 I have since received a phone call and two emails from other parents in our school about our newest addition.\u00a0 I figure, McCanless has about 25 friends in both 5K classes, so that means It will only take about 2 hours for word to spread around town to Mel.\u00a0 I thought I’d tackle it here first and wait for Mel to approach me about it later.<\/p>\n

“I’m clueless, trust me.” –Daddy<\/p>\n

We’ll see how he handles her little white lie this time.<\/p>\n

“White lie? Possibly… A little coaching from daddy? Most definitely.\u00a0 I’ll keep you updated on our progress.\u00a0 Until then I’m taking donations for that addition.” –Daddy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
