Pants on Fire

Katie spent the morning at my friends house one day this week while I volunteered in Maddie's class. She had taken 40 minutes that morning to eat half a bowl of cereal because some days she likes to be cantankerous. So, that's all she had to eat. Her choice. Her fault. She immediately told my friend, as soon as I left, that, "Mommy didn't feed me very much bwekfast this morning. Can I have something to eat?" Then, in the late morning when 19-month-old Kaleb was having a snack, instead of just asking for some, too, this is what she said, "My Mommy told me that I have to eat cockroaches for supper, and I don't wike dem. Can I have some cheese and cwackers, pwease?" When I was informed of this little conversation later, I said (astounded), "Katie, don't lie! I have NEVER made you eat cockroaches, HAVE I?" She calmly walked away from me, shooting back over her shoulder, "YES you have."

That's hilarious! You mean, Mom, you. :) :) I can't believe she said that!

This kid has no problem with the fibs that are larger than life. Pretty much anything she tells you is not true. But she lies with a total straight face and once it's come out of her mouth, she defends it forever.
