Daniley is funny in things she says. We're always cracking up about something. Sometimes things she says I believe, and sometimes not. It's hard to know or tell when she is telling the truth. We've really been working hard on not lying lately. I didn't say we were in compliance, I just said we've been working on it. She sees the time out chair frequently.
Last night I noticed some scrathy streaks across her chest. I inquired, "What happened to your chest? It's all scratched. Did you fall down?" She said, "Paisley, my mean cat, did that to me. She scratched me. She is not nice." I pulled her over closely. I began to feel the marks....it was unusual. I inspected her closer. Then I said, "OH REALLLLLY????" Then I said, "Have you been in Mom's lipstick?" "Nope." "I'm gonna give you one chance to tell Mommy the truth. Don't tell Mommy any stories." Finally, she confessed, "It was only just a little bit of lipstick Mom." How she got it to streak out like that (very thin lines, I swear it looked just like scratches) I have no idea.
Okay, here's another one. We let her watch movies upstairs in the bar/playroom by herself. There is a candy machine in there. It stays locked and the keys stay up on a high glass shelf. Dan walked in to check on her one morning and she had her kid grand piano over there at the candy machine standing on top of it. That means she had pulled it from one end of the room to the other. Dan said, "What are you doing?" "Oh hey Dad, I was just trying to see all the different colors of the MMs." (She was going for the keys.) He asked her again. Same answer. So he gave her the line, "I'm going to give you one final chance to tell Dad the truth. Tell me what you were doing." Get her final answer: "I was just looking for a new experience, that's all!!" Sometimes it's hard to stay serious!! :-)
