My three-year-old is learning to tell lies!

So, the other day, my three-year-old, Kate, asked for a piece of bubble gum. I gave her a piece and said, "DON'T swallow it" (which is what she usually does). Two minutes later, she came to me empty-mouthed asking for more gum.

"Did you swallow that first piece?" I said.

"No, Mommy!" Kate replied.

"Then where is it?"

"Umm, nevermind." And she slinked out of the kitchen.

I had to laugh.
