It’s ridiculous, right?
Of course my Dad is not John Cena. But in a recent discussion with a fellow mother, this came up as an example of something her child believed. One of the children in the class asserted their father was the professional wrestler. And the other kids believed it absolutely and without question.
I’ve had a fab year for writing… but I’ve also made some mistakes.
CongratZ on your progress!
Why wouldn’t kids believe the things other people say? I think they should. I also think that adults should stop lying.
I bet navigating the publishing business wasn’t easy but it should indeed be better next time around.
Thank you! Even though I was part of a group project, it was still pretty difficult. It doesn’t help that the largest number of new books ever were added to Amazon in September this year!
There is a lot of misinformation around, for sure. Have you seen The Social Dilemma?
Wow. I had no idea.
No, was it good?
In it, the social media moguls talk about how the algorithms don’t care about truth, only about getting people to keep staring at their phones. It’s about advertising money and click bait. Really worth a watch!
I will try to give it a try over the weekend. Thanks for the recommendation.
I said some outrageous things as a kiddo. I have no idea where I got my ideas from. I can’t blame my parents.
Hah. Another mum once told me that my son had said that his dad won a fanta drinking competition, where he had to drink 2 bottles of fanta ☺ Completely made up!
Kids have great imaginations. I think I made up a lot of crazy tales when I was young, too. Some of us learn not to believe everything we hear (or read).
Yeah I think it’s great that they have good imaginations. I just wonder what else my kids are telling people 😂
