SWEET LITTLE LIES
I was at Half Price Books just now looking for Alice McDermott's "At Weddings and Wakes" (They had it. Yay!), and I overheard this conversation between a guy and his daughter, who appeared to be about 4.
Girl: Dad.
(silence)
Girl: (louder) Dad.
Guy: What is it?
Girl: Mom just got mad at me.
Guy: She did? (with a soothing tone of complete indifference)
Girl: Yeah. Really mad.
Guy: Why did Mom get mad?
Girl: I dunno.
Guy: What did you do?
Girl: I dunno.
Guy: She just got mad for no reason?
Girl: It looks that way.
(At what age does lying go from being cute and precocious to vile and manipulative?)

That's hilarious. Reminds me of those cheesy Family Circus cartoons where you see the little ghost kid named Not Me.
Oh no! You're saying my sense of humor is like the Family Circus guy's?!
Hehe.
No, I'm not comparing you to the Family Circus dude!
