“My daddy died this year in Iraq.” That is how the letter that one tiny fan started, in hopes to win four tickets to a Hannah Montana concert. ABC News reports that the six-year-old, Alexis Menjivar, managed to beat out 1,000 other girls from the Dallas area and won the tickets.
Problem was that, her daddy never went to Iraq and he never died. You can imagine the mother’s embarrassment and how she shattered her daughter’s hopes of attending the concert. It wasn’t her fault since the mom helped conspire to get the letter out.
The mother, Priscilla Ceballos, said,
We never said anything like this was a true story. Never. It was just an essay. We do essays all the time. You know, my daughter does essays at school all the time. I never lied and said that the essay was a true story.
BS!!!!! All that to see Miley Cyrus lip-sync live! I don’t understand why people go bananas over Hannah Montana. Seriously.
Anne Pleshette Murphy, a parenting contributor, told “Good Morning America”,
There is enormous pressure on parents when there is an event like this to be the ones who get their kids the tickets.The reality is that’s not what kids remember about their childhoods. What matters to children is that you’re there for them, that you are trustworthy. And of course a mother who is lying like this at some point this child is going to realize can’t be trusted and that’s going to be a tragedy.

Saw the show…don’t think it was lyp-synched.
Sorry…can’t type…I meant lip.
I have never heard of HM. This is the only place I have ever seen the name. Sometimes not having tv is a good thing I guess.
although the year has turned to a brand new one, stupid people are still around. will we ever get rid of’em?
I think every generation has peers to look up to. Believe me there could be worst.
Anyway, I have no problem with her.
Oh, about the story. That mom is nuts. With the information in that essay the mom probably wrote it and had the kid copy it over.
