I've never lied about DS's age (he's not tall and his speech/ articulation is not convincing for an older kid, so it wouldn't work anyway), except one time when he was introduced to someone - the mom of a kid on his lego team - who was apparently expecting an older child... and instead of "nice to meet you" she said "but he's so SHORT!"

That time I did jump right in with "oh you know he's a midget..." just long enough for her to look completely mortified and then "I'm kidding! he's nine!!" I figure we're even... We both said the first thing that popped into our heads. Only mine was funnier.

wink

I do intend to lie about my own age starting when I'm about 45... I'm going to say I'm 50 so people can tell me how young I look. *snort!*
