Not sure if it is related to giftedness, but hopefully, someone can shed some lights.
DS3 is probably on par in terms of language articulation, but he is pretty skillful at sweet talking/telling white lies.
Some examples:
� He misbehaved and hurt himself earlier in the day. I asked him later on how he got hurt, he gave me an ingenuine laugh. When pressed further, he told me to not get mad at him and he is a good boy. Never did he answer my question of how he got hurt.
� When he wants to do something that I am unapproved of, he usually tells me to go to sleep/eat/check on DD because she is crying (a lie).
� We went to a Mexican restaurant over the weekend. The server was speaking Spanish to him, which he doesn�t understand. He gave the server an ingenuine smile.
Obviously, we are unapproved of any lies (white lies or otherwise). Also DH and I are pretty down-to-earth, so we are somewhat taken back by how DS is acting at 3.
I noticed I am just babbling�
