On Thanksgiving a bunch of us were downstairs at Grandma
and Grandpa's house watching a DVD of the church youth program that was
performed the weekend of the Kansas City Temple dedication. Two of my sisters and their families live in
the Kansas City area so during the program there were a lot of people they knew
in the pictures and video. On one
picture, my niece Farah, commented to her mom (my sister Tanya) and pointed out
a family they knew in the audience, "look mom, it's the
Soenso's!" Mason, desperate to talk
and being shushed throughout the program said, "Yeah! I know them, it's the Soenso's! I know who they are. I recognize them too."
I told Mason he did not know them and to quit making
stuff up. He replied, "Mom, I like
to talk all the time and I have to make stuff up sometimes so I can keep
talking." At the time I had no
response so I let him get away with it, but we have since worked on ways to
make sure people know when his stories are things he made up and when he is
telling the truth.
