Why Do Kids Lie?
So the a couple evenings ago my wife and I were sitting in the kitchen having a chat after dinner, as we often do. We had sent the kids upstairs to start getting ready for bed, which includes:
- Get showered
- Put pyjamas on
- Brush teeth
All very simple. After 15 minutes or so, our youngest came down in his pyjamas and announced that he was ready for bed. The conversation went something like this:
I'm ready for bed!
Have you had a shower?
Yep!
But your hair isn't wet, are you sure you've had a shower?
Yesssssssssss. I dried it.
But you still have your socks on from today?
I put them back on.
Mate. I'm starting to get cross now, because I think you're lying to me. This is your last chance to be honest. Did. You. Have. A. Shower?
...............no. 🥺
Get upstairs and have a shower. NOW!
Little shit. 🤣
