ANST - Fwd: [Re: [IR] Young Liar]

[Michael Tucker]

This type of thing seems to be very common in the SCA. When Patrick Michael
Gordonne and Julia de Montoya were King and Queen of Ansteorra (their third
reign, I think), one of their young sons got in trouble at school for "lying".
Same song, different verse: his teachers asked him what his mommy and daddy did,
and he told them they were the King and Queen, and his daddy was a Knight. Well,
of course that _couldn't_ be true, so straight to the principal's office they
went. A couple of "parent-teacher conferences" cleared everything up, but I bet
this has happened to a lot of crowns with young children.

It's funny in a way, but it's also sad that teachers are so used to hearing
fabrications that they assume an improbable story is false until proven otherwise.

Yours,
Michael Silverhands
