Hmmm...

I found this poem in a kids poetry book.

Manners

Telling a lie is called wrong.
Telling the truth is called right.
Except when the truth is called bad manners,
And telling a lie is called polite.


Just one of the many reasons why parenting is so difficult. And life is so much easier when you're a kid and black and white really is black and white.

We always make life more difficult than it has to be.
