Honesty

When you are trying so hard to teach your 5 year old to tell the truth and never lie, the idea of there being okay-little-white-lies is very difficult.

Yesterday my aunt (for some reason that I’m sure made sense at the time) asked Ricky, “Hey, do I look fat or thin?”  We haven’t had a lesson about how a man should always answer that question, so Ricky gave his honest answer, “Fat!”

I tried to tell him that the answer to that question is always “Thin!” but he didn’t get it.  Sigh.  So sorry, Auntie!
