Texas girl lies, claiming her father died, to get Hannah Montana tickets!
Did you see this news story?
The contest winner was to get flown to Albany, NY (brrrr!) to see a Hannah Montana concert. So this girl and her mom write an essay saying the girl’s father died in Iraq. Ta-da! She wins.
Turns out, dad did not die in Iraq. “It didn’t say the essay had to be true,” says mom, whom I suppose concocted the scheme (please don’t tell me the 6-year-old did, or I may have to go curl up and cry).
I guess a more truthful comment would have been, “I’d kill my dad to get to see Hannah Montana!!”
Or, maybe they just forgot to include their disclaimer (it’s all the rage for memoirs now) that certain characters are fictional, names have been changed, and even facts have been changed…..
Good to know the competition for Best Mom of the Year Award is a little weak this year.

OMG that is just wrong. When that kid is a teenager and lying to her mother she going to wonder where she went wrong (HELLO!). It also a disgrace, there are so many children who a) have a parent in Irag or b) lost a parent in Irag and to make something like that up….oh so wrong. (Shaking my head in disgrace)

Did you hear the one about the mom who helped concoct a fake facebook boy to hurt a neighbor girl, who was so distraught from the jilting that she committed suicide?
