[QUOTE="So Tired, post: 161701, member: 4772"] I agree -- I think it seems to be an attention thing. My daughter had that problem with a friend at school. The friend said she had turtles and that my daughter could have one. I gave her permission and my daughter was very excited about getting her turtle. But then, every week it was something different with the turtles, they laid eggs, the eggs hatched, turtles were sick, turtles were at her grandmas, turtles were at vets. This went on for several weeks. Hmmmmm.... I finally called her Mom. No turtles. Never was. I think she just enjoyed the attention those non-existant turtles brought her. Sometimes kids just make up these things in a "wouldn't it be cool if it were true" kind of way and it is too hard to give up the attention you are getting about it....sounds like for your daughter the lie just got too big and got away from her.
