Spencer and I were in cleaning the bathroom the other day and we heard Mason across the hall jumping on his bed. Here is the conversation that followed:
Me: Mason come here. Are you jumping on your bed?
Mason: No.
Me: Are you sure? I thought I heard you jumping on your bed.
Mason: No. I wasn't.
Me: Then what were you doing?
Mason: (Silence.)
Spencer: (To me) Watch, I can get him to tell the truth. (To Mason) Mason, were you just jumping on your bed?
Mason: No Dad.
Spencer: Are you sure?
Mason: I wasn't. I promise.
Spencer: Are you telling the truth.
Mason: Yes! I was just playing on my bed.
Spencer: You were playing on your bed?
Mason: Yes.
Spencer: What were you playing?
Mason: Jumping.
At this point, I started laughing uncontrollably and ruined the teaching moment Spencer was trying to create. (Sorry Babe.) He proceeded to talk to Mason about lying, but I was laughing so hard I don't think Mason heard a word of it. What a nut!!
