He was not hungry. He had already eaten breakfast. I doubt that he is afraid of ME. I would rather think he was afraid because he knew his action was wrong! And that means he has concience and that means I am doing something right as a parent.
I am liberal with him and he has the right to take food whenever he wants. But there are rules in our house and one of them is no sweets before lunch time. He broke a rule - another reason why he felt he had to lie.
I feel like I need to defend my actions here. I didn't do anything wrong. My son did!
