Monsters, Castles, Sand & Uncle Matt?

I have to share this cute story about Emma. She and Anna spent the evening with Aunt Diana and Uncle Matt while I had bible study and Jody had a meeting last Monday night. The next morning she woke up and we asked her if she had fun, etc. She of course said she loved it and began to tell us this very long and confusing story about monsters, castles, sand and Uncle Matt. If any of you remember 3 year olds they are very big story tellers and Emma is no exception (I do have to say Uncle Matt still has a few on her back in his day)! We went along with this grand story (like usual) and that was that. But every day since Monday we've been hearing this story (which gets bigger), which by a few days ago we had had a long talk with her about telling stories and how it isn't not nice to make things up that aren't true. Well, we ate lunch today with Aunt Diana (whose birthday was today), Uncle Matt and Uncle Josh and found out the story was actually true! Uncle Matt was telling Emma how he was getting bigger tires for his blazer and getting a lift to make it taller, to make it sort of like a "Monster Truck". And that when we go to the beach (in July) they were going to drive it on the sandy beach and then build sand castles! It's funny how we casually go along with her tall tales. . .only to find out they are actually true and instigated by those who were once tall talers themselves!
