Hello, I'm Jody Moore from Bold New Mom, you're listening to Nape Clips episode number 15.

Hello, hope you're having a fantastic day, a fantastic week, and a great month and fall.

I can't believe it's almost the end of October already.

My kids got their Halloween costumes this week.

My older two liked to go to party city and look at the wall of possible costumes and pick something out.

So we did that, and then my two-year-old son Oliver is really into the movie Frozen, and so he wants to be Christoph for Halloween.

And it's kind of cute because he can barely say it, but he'll say, I'd be Christoph Halloween.

He doesn't even know what trick-or-treating is, really.

But I made him a Christoph costume, and before you go being impressed with me, let me clarify.

I got on Pinterest and stole someone else's idea, and then I did some cutting and gluing.

I didn't even get my sewing machine out, so it's nothing fancy, and I'm fully prepared that he might not want to wear it.

On Halloween, because I can't even get him to try it on right now.

But if he does, I'll take a picture. It will be really cute.

Alright, so let's get on with the show here.

Today, I'm going to be telling you true lies that I tell my kids, or that I have told my kids, or that I'm trying to tell my kids.

And let me explain what I mean by that.

When my oldest two kids were littler, my husband and I thought it was kind of fun to tell them things that weren't entirely accurate,

because I love that age when they believe anything.

And I don't think we did any serious damage by entertaining ourselves this way, or serving ourselves in this way.

It was just kind of fun for us. And now that they're getting older, I realize that almost everything that I teach them, you could argue is a lie, or you could agree is a truth.

So these are true lies, because on the one hand, there's truth to them, and on the other hand, they're just thoughts. They're not facts.

I am not sharing these to tell you how to raise your kids, or what you should tell your kids, you know far better than I do, but to tell your kids.
