The Blue Dot

The following conversation occurred yesterday after school.

Me: What did you learn at school today, Reider?

Reid: I found out about the blue dot.

Me: About what?

Reid: We found out that parents see a blue dot on their kid's foreheads when they are lying.

Me: Oh, who told you that? I thought only parents knew about the blue dot.

Reid: Mrs. Langley (his Kindergarten teacher) told us today when the class was not being very good.

Me: Well, the secret is out now -- better not lie.

Reid: Nope, I would never lie to you, Mom.

Brilliant -- his teacher is brilliant! And I will use this amazing blue dot theory for as long as I possibly can and enjoy every bit of innocence I can soak up from our little man.
