Good article. Thanks, 'Neato!
I've always been very understanding with DS4 about the "my shoes did it" sort of lie. I figure that's wishful thinking: "I wish I hadn't wet my pants, but I did, and now I have to figure out a way to explain it away because I don't want to have the truth be reality." I'm actually pretty sympathetic to that.
This is the older kid variety, the "I want what I want and I'm willing to break rules with a grin (Yes, an "I'm so cute" grin. Argh!
) to get it." I'm way less understanding about that, I'm afraid!
