The past few weeks we’ve had my in-laws staying with us. They don’t drive so we’ve had to configure the van so that Henry is in the second row and for ease of getting in and out we’ve put down the other 2nd row seat so the 2 In-laws and Grant are in the 3rd row.
On one of our excursions out Henry had 2 crayons and a bit of paper he was coloring with and Grant decided later that he needed a turn. Fast forward to a few hours later and the following conversation ensued.
Grant: “Henry.. Henry.. blaojeiojfieow?”
Me: What Grant?
Grant: "No Mommy, I’m talking to HENRY.. not you”
Me: “Geez, alright"
Grant: “Henry?”
Henry: “uh-huh!”
(I should at this point note that Henry will happily answer an affirmative “uh-HUH!” to any question asked excitedly.)
Grant: “Henry. Did you color on the wall back here by my seat!?”
Henry: “uh-HUH!” :)
Grant: “MOOOOOMMMMM. Henry got crayon on the wall back here by my seat”
Me: “Uh, Grant? Henry has never even been BACK near your seat.”
Grant: “He just said he did it”
Me: “Grant. Henry has not been in that back seat.. do we need to have that talk about lying again?”
Grant: “But Henry said he did it!”
Me: “Grant!”
Grant: “Oh. Yes. I think that was a mistake. I think it was maybe Mr. Nobody that did it.. I think he was back here.”
Obviously we need to revisit the lesson on lying but when do they get so cunning?
