[QUOTE="Malika, post: 491052, member: 11227"] Yes, that's interesting - and to me interesting that you were 11 and J is 5. We usually associate deliberate lying with older children. As I have often read here on the forum, J kind of lies without skipping a beat and is very plausible. And this is odd to see in such a young child. Not pleasant - the wrong kind of intelligence... I too can remember an occasion on which I picked up a friend's purse, meaning the thing you put money in, (aged 8 or 9) after she dropped it without realising and saying nothing for two days. Then, wracked by conscience, I gave it back to her, making up some story or other. Children do lie. Maybe what is more significant is whether they feel guilty about lying... like you, I certainly did. And, yes, they were indeed Barbary figs... [/QUOTE]
