[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 475280, member: 84"] I always preferred the truth, easier to stick to your story that way. That doesn't mean it might not have been an edited form of the truth. I have a thing for the truth as well as a thing about promises when it comes to kids. My Mom was lousy with both and all of us grew to believe that people were in general not to be trusted at their word, most certainly she wasn't. So I'll flat out refuse a promise to a child unless I'm dead certain I can deliver (then will move heaven and earth to make certain I deliver) and I may give a child an edited version of the truth, and often have to avoid meltdowns, but I won't lie to them.
