Why do people try to tell falsehoods around children ? The truth always comes screaming out of their mouths....I remember one time years ago, when I tried to tell my husband that we should head out to dinner since there was nothing to eat in the fridge (not technically true - there was food, just not food of any sort that I wanted to eat that evening) My son, who was 5 at the time,looked at his Dad and repeated what I had been muttering under my breath while I gazed into the fridge for inspiration: "Mom said it looks like re-runs tonight !"
