First Whopper!

My 3 year old told her first whopper this morning! She TOTALLY took me in! I believed it! It all started when the baby (1 year old) woke up in the middle of the night scratching her little foot and whining. I looked at it and it was red and irritated and looked a little swollen on the ball of her foot so I put some bite medicine on it and we went back to bed. By 9 a.m. both girls had come into bed with me (our morning ritual: the pile on) and the baby was again scratching and complaining. I put more medicine on it and commented "I wonder what happened to her foot?" Rowan says "Oh, she was stung by a bee." Very nonchalant like she tells me this! "When did that happen?" I ask. I was kind of alarmed that this was the first I was hearing about it. "Yesterday when you went to the store. When you opened the door that bee just flew right in!" She sounded totally convincing! So, I proceed to grill her. Where was Daddy ("he was just sitting in the floor.")? Did she step on it? ("Yes. She stepped right on it!") What did Daddy do? ("he picked it up with a paper towel and threw it away.") So, I call my husband on his lunch break and grill him. "Rowan said Kel was stung by a bee when I was at the store last night." His reply was "Oh did she." And I proceeded to tell him the story and he assured me that Kel did not get stung by a bee and that she might've hurt her foot or gotten a mosquito bite at the pool the night before last but nothing happened while I was at the store, that they all sat in the floor and played V-Smile almost the whole time I was gone. (which is what Ro said they were doing when Kel supposedly got stung!) Now, two things concern me about all of this. One, is that I BELIEVED it! Two, is that Ro, who will be 4 in October, has telling a whopper down to an artful and this is only her first try! She peppered it with things that actually happened and it seemed real! Now, I don't think she knows exactly what she did, but SHEESH! If she's this good at 3 without even trying, what will she be like when she's 16?! It's been a pet theory of ours for a while that she might be an evil genius! She's got quite an imagination!

LOL My 5 yr old niece is like that and has been for some time. I've come to realize with my niece is that 1. I have to ask her "are you telling the truth?" and 2. I've realized to them it's not lies they are just telling stories.
Wow, what an imagination. That's just crazy! Good luck momma, I'm sure I'll bet getting mine pretty soon too.
Funny thing is I asked her repeatedly if she was telling the truth and if it actually happened and she still says yes!haha!
Kids are crazy... if it's any consolation my son has that evil laugh down pat I think he plans for world domination while watching handy manny
