Dinah came into the room with black stuff all over her hands. When asked what it was, she totally denied having anything on her hands! HA! Like I can’t see that black stuff. Just look at that face! She totally LOOKS guilty. Turns out that it was a washable marker that Ethan had left lying around.
Something that Valerie (my midwife) said to me last time I was in for a prenatal checkup was, “That Dinah is a very smart little girl. And she DOES listen to you…..But she listens to herself more.” Isn’t that just the whole truth!
Oh no! Has she grown out of the ‘truthful’ stage???? How convenient that HAD been for you guys!! Now she falls into the common child stereotype of having ‘brain damage’ … I dunno! 😛
She is still mostly truthful. And she hasn’t really become a liar. She just sort of enters a state of denial every now and then.
