[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]or what about if the kids ask, "Did that really happen?" when you tell a story about a prince's kiss or an ancient flood or someone rising from the dead.

Would you always say something like "That's a story with some wisdom in it" or would you say "some people think it's true, but I don't"?[/quote]

My typical response is: "what do you think?" and "[i]some[/i] people might think this happened."[/quote]

But by the time they were asking this questions we weren't reading too many princess type books (fortunately that was a short phase!). [/quote]

Thanks -- what if they started to believe something you really thought was harmful -- whatever that may be -- like they needed to be kissed by a prince in order to live happily ever after or needed to join a particular religion in order to achieve eternal life?[/quote]

"Oh really?! Huh, that's interesting" and then we would move back to non-fiction or something light like Magic Treehouse.  :lol:
