I don't think I've lied to my kids about anything. This is easy because they're little enough that they don't ask very hard questions. However, today I was feeling really tired and overwhelmed and so when Theo was hungry and I handed him an apple and he asked me to cut it, the first thing that popped into my head was to tell him the knife was broken (which he totally would have bought). I stopped myself and said instead, "Just eat it like this, OK?" and he ate it. Phew, record saved...for now.

I love that frog costume and a picture you posted previously of Theo crying in it :(
Haha I'm not sure why you chose this photo to go with this post, but I love it. Is Theo zipping up the frog costume for Ida? It's such serious business.
The picture has nothing to do with the post. Mostly I just realized that posting about a lie I didn't tell my kid, is kind of lame, so I thought I'd add some visual interest. Probably should have lied here and said that I did tell him the lie. That would have made a better story.
