Last night as I was walking outside to put dinner on the grill, Evan, soda bottle in hand, stopped suddenly and looked at me with a surprised and guilty look. "What are you doing Evan" I asked. Knowing full well that he intended to empty the contents of the recycling bin into his wading pool. A little game we have been trying to discourage.
"Ummmmm" he was looking for his lie. "I, ummmm, I just looking at these bricks." he said pointing to the house.
His first out right lie! And it was funny! I was impressed with his clever attempt at deceit. But I decided I should try to make an honest man out of him so I ask, "Are you sure you weren't going to put all the recycling in to your pool?"
"Yeah... I just put them in my pool."
And how could I argue with that?
