Hela: Mommy can you tell us a story?
Me: What do you want to here about?
Hades: Can you tell us a funny story? Like one of the historic ones you know about?
Me: How about one of the ones from WW1?
Hela: Yeah!
Me: Have you ever heard of The Battle of Marnes River?
Hades and Hela: No what's that?
Me: Way back in 1914 during WORLD WAR 1 the British and French armies were taking heavy losses from the three German armies that were chasing them. The Germans had originally planned to attack Paris from the West side of Paris but they had decided to seize a opportunity and went East of Paris instead. This resulted in The Battle of Marnes River. Paris realized that they needed to get into the front lines of the battle. The military General of Paris decided that they needed to mobilize quickly, and so in the span of one day and one night Paris mobilized and transported 6,000 troops to the front line of the battle. The end.
Hades: Mom. . . how is that funny?
Me: didn't I tell you how they mobalized?
Hela: How did they mobalize?
Me: Mostly TAXI cabs and one or two hogcarts.
Hades and Hela: WHAT!
Me: About 6,000 troops worth of TAXI cabs and one or two big carts worked all day and all night to transport troops to the front line.
Hades and Hela: How did NOBODY notice that?!
Me: I don't know? But to make matters worse the Parisian uniforms were practically glow in the dark neon that's how bright there uniforms were. So somehow the Germans failed to notice 6,000 troops worth of TAXI cabs and Hogwarts dropping of 6,000 troops worth of men in practically neon glow in the dark uniforms being dropped off on the front line.
Hades and Hela: wow. . . Did the Germans win?
Me: no they lost.
Hades and Hela: goodnight mom.
Me: Goodnight kids, maybe tomorrow I will tell you about how the Australians declared war on Emus.
Hades and Hela: WAIT, WHAT!
Me: Goodnight!
