Congratulations to all the Busse kin.
My nephew is the most trusting (gullible) 11 year-old I know.
It's a lot of fun when he visits! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
(I've convinced him that I'm Batman. True story.)
Years ago the family went camping. My niece must have been five or six at the time. I told her that these woods were haunted by the infamous were-chipmunk. The longer I held forth about this sneaky, rapacious, and dangerous creature, the more nervous she looked. The harder she peered at the dense forest.
Finally, her voice shaking with fear, she asked, “Is this true?”
I said, “No.”
She was relieved to hear it.
