Honesty is not always the best policy

Such a hard lesson to teach a child, one I have avoided teaching my kids thus far because frankly at these tender ages (you know from birth till death) I always want the truth… or at least I THOUGHT I always wanted the truth. I’m starting to rethink my position on that.

Mira just rode by me on the indoor trike and said:

“Mama, you look BIG today!”

*She glances my way and sees a look of horror*

“I mean to me, Mama, you just look REALLY REALLY BIG today… to me.. when I see you..”

Ouch.

    Honesty is still the best policy, but listening to it may not be :-)
