my kid lied to me yesterday . i 've had that happen before . its like they are trying to become professionals at it . was it a whopper ? not really , they are young , but they were trying to get a sibling in trouble instead of themselves . i was n't expecting it at such a young age ... only 3 . i think they would lie sooner if they could . my kid told me flat out that her brother did something when it was impossible that he could 've so i knew instantly . its humorous while they 're young watching them get into such a deep hole .
The child's dishonest attempt to get their sibling in trouble triggered the feeling of disappointment.
