Honesty is the best policy...right?

Kids are brutally honest.

If you ask a kid a question, make sure you really want to know the answer. Kids, in their innocence, will be completely honest with you. Sometimes they impart their honest opinions even when you don't want to hear it.

If you're wearing your favorite jeans that seem to be tighter, don't ask your five year old if they make your rear look big. He's going to say yes.

When you pass someone in the store that looks different in anyway, be prepared for your youngster to point and remark on it. Usually in a loud voice that carries throughout the whole store.

When your older child passes gas in the supermarket, their younger brother will always announce it to everyone near them.

Kids don't realize there are times when honesty isn't quite what someone wants to hear. In the innocence of youth they whole heartedly believe that honesty is the best policy, no matter what the situation. Kids don't yet have the ability to tell you what they think you want to hear.

So, remember this the next time you ask a kid a question. Do you really want to know the truth?
