My Sister Made me Famous

My sister, "Lolli" has a famous blog (she gets HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of readers a day), it's LIFE IS SWEET. She has tons of giveaways (like the $80 of Crayola stuff last week, gift cards, etc.). She put up a post today about me telling stories to her kids.

She took pictures of me telling her youngest boy (after he asked me why the gate to our park was open) that there was a BIG (and I mean BIG) squirrel that lives in the park and waits for kids to walk through the open gate so he can steal their lunch (which is why he got so big). It turns out at the end of the story that the squirrel is just a big kid that dressed up in a squirrel costume and he actually nice even though he has such a mean face. By the time they left my house that afternoon I had told him the exact same story like 20 times because he liked it so much. When I went to his house a week later you know the first thing he says to me, "Tell me about the squirrel again!!"

A disclaimer: My stories really aren't THAT scary, I just make a scary face and use a scary voice and it totally freaks the kids out. I do it to Chick too and she loves it. She will get really scared and then go, "Just kidding!!!!.....right?"
