Sweet Lies

When my daughter Sofia was 4 years old she went everywhere with her doll Boo, who was the protagonist of her favorite movie Monsters Inc. Whenever she came home from school she saw the film on video and never seemed to get tired of watching it repeatedly. My daughter and her doll were inseparable and she did not fall asleep without cuddling Boo, the doll was like the sister she did not have, in fact, she always said the doll was her sister, not her daughter as most little girls do.

To celebrate her fifth birthday we organized a nice party with balloons, and the decoration was hallucinatory to the film, we invited family and friends to share that special moment. Her mother made her a chocolate cake decorated with sweets, her favorite, when the cake was ready, her mother kept it in the fridge.

The party was very fun and when I took the cake out of the fridge to sing happy birthday, my wife noticed that it was missing a small piece and some goodies, so she asked Sofia if she had eaten the cake, to which she he replied "no, mom, it was Boo".
