(Hi there, I'm new around here)

My son is a bit of a fibber too. Last year when he was about 3 and 1/2 the preschool teacher pulled me aside to tell me he had lied about something. I, of course, said "oh no, how terrible", or something along those lines, but she just said "you know it means he's very clever." Well, that's OK then!

Like Jennifer13 wrote, sometimes he knows I'm not going to buy it - its just a little game. But sometimes, like tonight he thought he was really going to pull one over me. I was feeding him something he didn't particularly love for dinner. He takes the mouth full, runs off 'for a wee' and comes back and says "look mum, I finished the food." Nice try kido...
