Being truthful

A Mother is driving her little girl to her friend’s house for a play date.

“Mommy,” the little girl asks, “How old are you?”

“Honey, you are not supposed to ask a lady her age,” the mother answers.

“Ok,” the little girl says, “How much do you weigh?”

“Now really,” the mother says, “these are personal questions and are really none of your business.”

Undaunted, the little girl asks, “Why did you and daddy get a divorce?”

“That is enough questions, honestly!” The exasperated mother walks away as the two friends begin to play.

“My Mom wouldn’t tell me anything” the little girl says to her friend.

“Well,” said the friend, “ .. all you need to do is look at her driver’s license. It is like a report card, it has everything on it.”

Later that night the little girl says to her mother, “I know how old you are, you are 32.”

The mother is surprised and asks, “How did you find that out?”

“I also know that you weigh 140 pounds.” The mother is past surprise and shock now.

“How in heavens name did you find that out?”

“Annnnd,” the little girl says triumphantly, “I know why you and daddy got a divorce.”

Oh really?” the mother asks. “Why?”

“Because you got an F in sex.”

    I appreciate ur article on being truthful.

    I am a mother of 2, one 5-year old and one 4-year old. They have questions that sometimes I don't know what to do.

    I am enlightened on how to handle issues that I believe is important to making them a responsible and mature children.

    Thanks…

    “Would you rather that they grow up not knowing anything? That’s why we watch the show together… so I can have a chance to explain what they don’t understand.” >>> May point si hubby mo dito. Sa panahon ngayon lalo na, yung mga grade schoolers pa lang madami ng alam, so I guess mas okay na explain na lang sa kanila na bakit ganun etc….
