I am sitting on the corner of the bed with my son Wednesday night. I asked him, “So, what did you learn at church tonight?”

He said, “Dad, we learned about the importance of telling the truth!”

“Great, do you think telling the truth is important,” I asked.

“Ya, lying hurts you,” he said, “and it hurts everyone around you.”

Then he said, “you know, I am hurt because we have been lied too about the package.”

“Package, what package?” I confusingly responded.

“You know the one that is worth two trillion dollars,” he confidently said in return.

This is my ten year old saying this. He has really no idea what he is talking about except what he has heard at school, the neighborhood, news or other places….he hasn’t heard this at home! He didn’t even vote…can’t vote. And yet is mad that he was lied too!

My point is not to cast a shadow over our president. It is too, rather, say two things:

1. Our kids, grandkids, kids all around are listening to us adults. They hear more than they should or we want them to hear. The truth is I think many times we don’t think they understand.

2. Lying is devastating! NOW, you decide if you think we have been “lied to about the package.” Its true, lying hurts us and everyone around us…that I know!

In fact is, a ten year old knows that! The moral of the story is….Just be honest.

When you are you have….No Worries!
