Don’t believe everything your Mum and Dad say!

Last Christmas I went to a shopping centre and I saw Santa. The next week I went to a different shopping centre and saw another Santa! He looked completely different! Mum and told me that there is only one Santa! What's that all about?! Today I’m going to try and convince you that you shouldn’t believe everything your Mum and Dad say.

First of all, that bit with Santa just before, that actually happened! His beard colour was different, his red suit was a different shade,and his elves were different too! What the heck? Santa’s not even real!

Secondly, my Dad told me this rhyme a while ago. It goes like this... “ Early to bed,early to rise, makes you healthy,wealthy, and wise!” The rhyme sounds good but it doesn’t work. “ Early to bed, early to rise makes you healthy wealthy and wise!’’ I go to bed early, I rise early, I’m healthy, I’m fairly wise, but I’m sure as heck not wealthy! I’m following the instructions but I’m just not getting rich. Another little fib they’ve told me!

You know if you watch too much T.V you’ll get square eyes? Seriously. The Santa thing, FALSE.The rhyme thing, FALSE. Now this? This is just stupid. How can your spherical eyeballs transform to square eyecubes? Your eyelids would rip from the corners of your eyes! Not that you’ll ever get eyecubes. You’ll stay with plain boring EYEBALLS. FOREVER. No matter how much T.V. you watch.

My Mum told me about the Easter Bunny which made me start to wonder. How could the Easter Bunny go around the whole of New Zealand in one night and deliver easter eggs and have all the keys for our doors? Why does he eat carrots and we have chocolate? I feel sorry for him. I bet we are stealing all his chocolate. One night we put out a carrot for him. He ate it. So I thought. The next year I saw my Dad go into the kitchen and take a bite of the carrot, put it down and run back to bed. I snuck in and saw the bite marks. The Easter eggs were the same as we had too! That convinced me that the easter bunny was not real! It’s just your Mum and Dad who put the Easter eggs out. They do it when your asleep and they drink the milk and put the milk out too! Talking about carrots, I wonder if superman ate carrots to help him see better? Maybe. Because I did some research and found an internet site that carrots can actually make you see better! But that doesn’t mean that I’m just going to start gulping down carrots right now. You know, the person who made that site could just be an ordinary adult who is trying to make kids eat their vegetables! That still will not, would not start me eating carrots all the time. You may think that I would start shoving carrots down my throat, but you are wrong. Very wrong. So, I hope I convinced you not to believe everything your Mum and Dad say. Although I forgot to tell you about the Tooth Fairy, she is not real either. || media type="custom" key="13801316" ||
