lying

Athen brought me his empty bowl that used to contain the cereal I had poured him an hour before and said, "Look Mom, I ate it all. I ate all my cereal!" But as he finished his sentence he couldn't look me in the eye. So I said, "Did you really?" Knowing that there was no way he would touch the mushy remnants, because he never does...He nodded yes, but still couldn't look me in the eye. I said, "Where did you put it?" "In the garbage," he whispered.
