Toddlers lie 'unknowingly' and that's a well known fact. But Ma has been trying to teach me the importance of speaking the truth.
Today she asked me something and my reply was a complete lie, we both knew it. Very patiently mamma repeated her question with the hope that she would hear the truth this time, but no luck! Finally she said 'Rhea, you know we talked about how God doesn't like it if we lie. And more importantly when we look into someone's eyes we should always speak the truth'.
I understood most of what she said.
The question was repeated for the third time and I looked at Mom's face and gave the same reply. To this she said 'That was not nice Rhea. I told you never look into someone's eyes and lie'.
'But mamma this time I looked at your nose' :)
