I'm just amazed that you were a Brownie leader years before having kids. Smart thinking. .-= Cold Spaghetti´s last post ..Fancy. =-.

How funny. Baby is still way too young for that, but I’m sure he’ll be funny when he’s older. Is it hard to keep a straight face while disciplining when they make comments like that?

I still remember breaking a lamp when I was like 5 and my parents believed me when I said it was my brother. I still feel bad about it. Poor brother.

Oh, they try so hard, don’t they. Right now, we mostly get “innocent” suggestions that we should have candy for dinner and such like that.

Mmm, that must be a tasty baby brother!

My preschooler isn’t that quick. When I ask him something that might be lie-worthy, he just says, “I don’t know.”

Oh my youngest’s favourite trick these days is to ask me and if I say “go ask dad” he goes to ask dad but says “Mom asked me to ask you and she said it was okay”. It rarely works anymore!

hiding when they were filling their pants was the fist attempts at deception (it certainly wasn’t out of modesty)… and then “mommy GO!” with outflung hand as if to push me away while the #2 was being done. “Do you have to go to the potty?” I’d implore… “No” was the standard response.

The deceits are a little more sophisticated now…. my oldest will be 13 in 2 weeks. Oh I am not sure what to do about the big teen lies yet…. I’m just hoping I don’t get all tyranical as a reaction to it, ’cause I know that never worked for my parents with my sister! She just got BETTER at lying and sneaking around and I don’t want my kids to ever have to do that.

Usually, when Naima wants to do something new, the nanny will tell her ask your mommy. she then runs to me, says hi mommy, runs back to the nanny and tells the nanny.. mommy said yes!

This reminds me of my days at Girl Guide camp. Except I was such a goody two shows I never wanted to trick the leaders. Geez, did I ever miss out! Lol! .-= Melodie´s last post ..Normal Day =-.

I really love the “don’t look at me”. Umm, when you say that I am going to look at you extra hard! Last night it was “don’t follow me into the kitchen” and then scrape scrape as she dragged the chair to the freezer.

My kids aren't creative at all when it comes to lying. They just do it outright. Although, thankfully, they're still young enough to give themselves away pretty easily. .-= C @ Kid Things´s last post ..Happy Birthday, Dad. Again. =-.
