I was reading Jaclyn "The Tale of Desperaux" and at the beginning of the book, it introduces a mouse that loves honor & justice and always tells the truth. So I asked Jaclyn if she always tells the truth. "NO!" she said. Then I told her that she should always tell the truth like Desperaux. Her reply to me was, "Well, nobody's perfect."
And then the other day, she tattle-taled (again) on Madison. "Mom, Madison is drawing all over herself with a pen." When I looked at Madison, Jaclyn was right. There were pen marks all over her body. Legs, arms, tummy, back, on shirt. Wait a minute! BACK? How would Madison be able to draw a flower on her back? Wait another minute! Since when is Madison able to write a single letter let alone her own name, and upside down? "JACLYN...did you write on your sister?" "We both did." (So much for always telling the truth.)
