* Denial Is So Easy

Mom, there is something I have to tell you about dad, he comes in to my room at night, we play this game' it's just between 'us' he said then he leaves and goes to bed. I know you won't believe me but it's true, please don't be mad at me,' the girl said. 'You are a 'liar' her mom screamed now get out of my face and get to bed. Late, that night on the nightly news they reported about 'a little girl who had been killed from being beaten black and blue by her parents, the girls mom was 'apalled'. Her mom said 'how could any parent do that to their own kid'!? The girl sat confused, she had just told mom about what her dad did and her mom called her a 'liar' it's just 'denial is so easy'.
