Little White Lies

For a little over a month I've been working in the pre-school classroom.

The other day the teacher and I were using a hot glue gun to put pictures up on the wall (it is the only thing that will stick to the cement wall).

At lunchtime one of the boys said to me, "Miss Tacy, Jakeb has something in his pocket."

I asked Jakeb what he had in his pocket and he said, "A mini water-bottle. I brought it with me to have on the bus in case I get thirsty."

I asked him to take it out of his pocket and he pulled out a glue stick.

I held it and looked at him said said, "What did you say this was?"

He again told me it was a mini water-bottle he brought in case he got thirsty on the bus.

It made me think of what I tried to get away with when I was 4.
