Sometimes I think it’s a faster response. Weird, right? I KNOW my D has lied to me about stuff that doesn’t really matter. I mean why bother? I have said to her that when people lie, they have to have REALLY good memories. As a mom and a teacher, I would much rather have a kid do something wrong and tell the truth than lie about it. It elevates it to a whole different level, and I don’t know how to get that across. Why don’t kids realize that we usually feel this way?
