After-School Conversations

"Hey, Mom, what is good lying?" Pause. "How do you tell a good lie?"

I just stared at my child, who actually asked me that question.

 
"I know. Pathetic, going to your mom for lying tips."

 
"Well, yes, but what on earth made you think I would teach you?"


A sly grin.

Then, "I think I forgot how to lie. I don't think I'd forget how to murder, but I forgot how to lie." She caught me staring at her. "Not that I would ever murder."

 
Two guesses for which child I'm having this conversation with.

If you are rude, spiteful, or just plain mean, there will be a $10 charge just for putting up with you.

Please be nice.
