exact same thing happened to me this week. "Baby are you lyin' to daddy?" confusion ensues. roars begin. I've got to getting better at my pronunciation...

Ben's little heart is so sweet. Our truth telling saga goes like this the other day: Audrey hits, pushes, possibly bites (I didn't see it all) Clara over something that must have been really important. (Again, I missed most of it.) I put Audrey in a timeout in her timeout chair and set the timer. When it beeps I kneel down and do the whole Audrey, you're here because you hit and pushed your sister and that's not the way we treat people...blah, blah, blah. I go on to say: "Now you need to tell Clara that you're sorry." A: "No." Me: "Ummm...yes. When we hurt people we must apologize. Tell your sister you're sorry." A: "I no sorry." Me: "Audrey, you hurt your sister now I want you to say sorry." A: "I no sorry. I mad. I hit."
Hmmm....honesty wins, I guess?

My sweet little Ben would never lie. He just didn't understand the question. I am sure he didn't mean to throw the toy. I bet it just slipped out of his hand.
