Our twelve year old lies, and gets really upset when we tell her that we know she's lying.

Just earlier today, my wife noticed that she had not done her homework. She lied, saying that she had done it. She said she did it yesterday (she didn't.)

But when we point out that she didn't tell the truth she cried and argued, trying to deflect the blame.

As a parent, I'm not sure what to do. I don't care so much about the homework. I just want her to tell the truth.

This is a work in progress. I'm working in Photoshop, trying to trace over the Moon's features in the style of the maps in the Lord of the Rings.

I searched around the internet thinking "Surely somebody has got to have done this."

But no, I can't find anyone else doing this. So I'm doing it, using ink on paper in a large format. This photoshopping is what I'm using as reference. I'm thinking to add little sailing ships, with numbers on their sails. Apollo 11's will have a little "11" painting on its sail, anchored down in the southernmost part of the Sea of Tranquility. Other ships will have their corresponding designations, their landing locations indicated on the map.

If it comes out well, I'm going to roll it up in a tube and send it to Neil deGrasse Tyson. His tagline for the Startalk podcast is "where science and pop culture collide." So maybe he'll like this.
