Stephanie sat at Ranger's computer searching for some information. Peigi skipped into the room and leaned on the desk next to her. "What are you doing?" she asked looking from the computer screen to her mother and back.

"Doing some research," came the reply as Stephanie typed in the key words into Google.

"What are you researching?" she asked curiously.

"It's complicated."

"Why are you using Google?"

"Because it's a search engine I know how to use."

"What happens if you search for Google on Google?"

Taking her eyes off the computer screen for the first time she took a good long look at her daughter, who had her chin propped in her hands and her elbows on the desk. "If you type 'Google' into Google, the resultant logic loop will cause reality to fall in on itself and the universe will collapse into an infinitely dense dot."

"What's infinitely mean?"

"Too many to count."

Peigi's eyes darkened as she remembered the infinity dollars she was supposed to be working towards by writing all the number up to infinity. Daddy deserved a time out, she thought. Returning her attention to the computer monitor she pointed to an icon in the top left corner of the screen. "What's that for?"

"That's the refresh button," Stephanie sighed. She really wasn't looking forward to a 'what's that?' conversation, but apparently she was going to have one whether she wanted to or not. "If you click on it the computer will squirt lemonade into your mouth." With bright eyes Peigi was about to prompt her mother to let her click on it but Stephanie rain all over her parade before she had a chance. "Sorry, sweetie, it only works on Red Days."

"Daddy," Peigi asked following her father around the house as he checked all the exits before bed. "What's the Stonehenge for?"

He glanced back at her with a smile. "The Stonehenge was originally used for the very first game of who wants to be a millionaire."

"Who played it?" asked the child watching as her father typed in the code on the back door.

"The cave men sweetie. Shouldn't you be in bed?"

Peigi shrugged and skipped down the hall after Ranger. "I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about what I learned in school today."

Ranger stopped her daughter mid skip and plonked her on her bed. "Sleep," he commanded and just like that Piegi's eyes drifted shut.

LIES #48&49

Peigi and Emmet sat at the kitchen table while their mother cooked dinner. It was the only way Stephanie could think to ensure that neither of them got into any mischief while she was otherwise occupied. They each had their drawing pads and were sharing a pack of colours and for once the house was actually quiet. Well of course, that just wouldn't do, Peigi had to break the silence.

"Mummy what should I draw?"

"Draw what ever you like, Piggy, it's your choice."

Peigi thought for a moment. "I don't know what to draw, what should I draw?"

This caused Stephanie to stop and think for a moment, wooden spoon held poised over the bolognaise sauce. "Why don't you draw a dog smoking a pipe."

At this the child screwed up her nose. "Why would a dog smoke a pipe?"

Stephanie sighed. "All dogs smoked pipes in the 1950's."

Frowning Peigi picked up a pencil and began to draw. Her dog was not only smoking a pipe, but was wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat.

Looking over his sister's shoulder Emmet decided that he too hadn't a clue as to what to draw. "Mummy, what do I draw?"

Getting thoroughly sick of this conversation Stephanie replied, "Draw anything you like, Em, but if it's a Disney character I'll call Disney and they'll sue you."

Emmet nodded, his eyes wide and returned to his drawing of a rainbow.

The serious expression on her face when Peigi arrived at her parents car that afternoon was alarming. She hadn't look this serious in months. "What's wrong Piggy?" Stephanie asked, turning in her seat as Peig strapped herself in.

"Rachel says that you lie to me all the time. Have you ever lied to me Mummy?" by now her arms were crossed over her chest and she was giving her best Burg glare.

"Of course not, honey, I'd never lie to you… except then… and then… and then…" she trailed off, still continuing the train of thought.

"What about you Daddy?" she insisted, "Have you ever lied to me?"

Ranger grinned at his wife. "Everything I say is a lie…" he frowned, "Except that… and that… and that… and that… and that…"
