I don't think that's lying, unless he actually wasn't thirsty at the time-- it's fairly straightforward manipulation of you. smile About the lying in general, I wouldn't worry. Lying to get what one wants or to avoid punishment is common among small children, and your son may just be better at it by virtue of his early development.
