The thing is, Kid C doesn't think he's lying. He has really convinced himself he's been to China!<br /><br />Sally- Let me know if you are able to translate. Unless it says something unflattering to me. Then keep it to yourself.<br /><br />Marianne- I should ask him that!

(Should I stop reading them fantasy novels?) My Kid C has been reduced to tears on occasion when we refused to believe his most recent wild tales, despite assurances that every word was the truth!<br /><br />I also heard recently that kids have no "tells" for when they're lying. And here I thought I was just a bad mommy when I couldn't tell! (I pretend, though, of course, and throw around wild, unprovable accusations of falsehood.)<br /><br />My boys don't have a problem with killing fish.
