Lies

Why is it so much easier to tell a lie than the truth?  And just when do you learn to lie?  Take my three year old for example.  You ask her a question, she gives you an answer.  Granted, sometimes it is a 3 year old answer, but it is always the truth.  At any given time, you can ask an adult a question, and you might not always get the truth.

It is because we are afraid of the truth?  Why?  Sometimes the truth hurts, but that shouldn't keep you from revealing it.  And with that being said, is it ever OK to tell a lie?  When?  Why?

Sure, I have been known to tell a lie or two in my life.  I lied to my parents when I was a teenager.  And I usually tell a lie about Christmas presents.  Does that count? 

The other day, Sadie told me I smelled funny.  Never in my life have I laughed as much as I do with my girls.  I can only hope that will continue when Eryn gets older and can have a conversation with her.  But as they say, "Out of the mouth of babes" usually comes the cold hard truth.  Why can't we, as adults, adapt to this same concept?  Is it because we are too consumed with what others might think of us?  What society will do?  That's crazy insane if  you ask me. You get this one shot at this thing called life.  You need to take control of it, and own it.  It is yours.


Ahhh.....the things my children make me do.  Guess I getter shower and use soap this time.  Thanks, Sadie!
