This children's story can be found in the My Baby Monsters Storytelling Library of Kids' Stories & Children's Art, under All the Best Children's Art (special guest artists). It was written by Michael (Father of My Baby Monsters and Educator) on Friday, September 29th, 2006 at 3:00 pm (Josie Time, UTC +2).
Baby Monster Lying King:
Eats facts for breakfast
and then relieves himself of them.

My dad and I just drew Baby Monster Lying King and made it into art you can wear or drink from at the Mon-Store.
Have fun, Josie
Tell a story… it can be "true" or "false". If the Lying King thinks your lying, he'll be happy and Roar, if he'll say, "naah."
Player 1 (storyteller):
The other day I was outside cutting the tree back
because it was taking over the driveway,
it was like a vine,
a big hand that tried to eat the cars and bikes that dared to drive in…
so I took a saw, because I didn't have a clipper,
and cut off all the branches and put everything away,
and then I came inside and I had a hole bunch of splinters in my toes.
Player 2 (The Lying King)
Nahh
CORRECT, TRUE STORY… 1 POINT FOR PLAYER 2
. .
Player 2 (storyteller)
Today when I was in school,

Player 1 (storyteller)
For lunch today I ate a sandwich.
Player 2 (The Lying King)
Nahh

Player 2 (storyteller)
Today at school I was at Lilla stu and gron stu (purple and green rooms, in Danish)
Player 1 (The Lying King)
ROAR
CORRECT, TRUE STORY… POINT TO PLAYER 1
PLAYER 1 IS THE WINNER!
HE IS THE REAL BABY MONSTER LYING KING!

Have fun telling your own stories and seeing if someone else can guess if there true or made up.

Add on to this "And Then" story to see what happens next.
He said:
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Josie who never told the truth.
AND THEN
The little boy whose name was not Josie, but Michael said,
"I want to make a bracelet."
AND THEN
The little boy Josie said,
"I think I'll just pick my nose
because it's a lot of fun to eat it.
Or maybe I should roll it into a giant booger ball
because there's no snow,
and I want to have a snowball fight."
AND THEN
I'm sorry Sweetheart,
you can't do that,
but that's okay…
it's going to snow today.
AND THEN
The daddy was confused the story so…
She said:
The girl who never told the truth was very sad
because when she said,
"Haba boba daba"
people thought she talking silly,
but she wasn't… those were real words,
and her daddy told her to go to her room.
AND THEN
Well, she was in her room, lying on her bed, thinking why did I have to lie?
Now I'm lying on my bed… I really don't want to lie any more
but since I lied, I have to lie on my bed
and I'm so sad.
AND THEN
She cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried…
AND THEN
She thought, why am I crying?
And she couldn't figure out why she was crying so she
cried, and cried, and cried, and cried, and cried some more.
AND THEN
Have fun
– Josie
You are the Vet,
you know everything about taking care of animals,
so please answer the question…
remember, you are the expert,
so there are no wrong answers here.
.
Mr. Veterinarian, how do cats cry?
Oh that's easy.
First they have to get really, really sad…
then they cry.
.
Mrs. Veterinarian, how did you become a veterinarian?
Well, first I went to a place,
and then I got the job.
I can't remember where the place was,
I think it was in Billund… the home of LEGO.
They gave me a pretty piece of paper.
It says, "I'm a Vet!"
.
Mr. Veterinarian, how did the world get made?
Since I am a Vet,
I know everything about how the world was made.
The world was made when someones daddy's sneezed…
and out from his nose
blew
a
BIGG
ball
of Earth,
and the rest of the solar system. the galaxy, and the universe.
Have fun,
– Josie
Note to parents and educators: learn more about
Storytelling Games.
I never lie, but Baby Monster Lying King does. In fact, he never tells the truth. So don't believe him if he opens his mouth. He says he's the real Lion King from Disney World, but I know he's not. He also told me the crown on his head is made from real gold and that down is up.
Do you have a lie to share? He'd love to see your story.
.
How to make great art:
- Print the My Baby Monsters Storytelling Coloring Page (or load it into your favorite painting program)
- Write on the sound waves.
- Color the picture.
- E-mail your new art to sharestories@mybabymonsters.com
- And I'll add it to My Baby Monsters Children's Art Gallery.
Have fun,
– Josie (and dad)
