The bathroom scale betrayal
Told my son the scale was broken because it said I gained 15 pounds. He said 'Dad thats probably not how scales work.' I said 'Well clearly this one is defective so we're donating it.' He laughed so hard he couldn't breathe. At least someone appreciates my problem solving skills.
Ouch! Kids have no filter but honestly they're usually right. At least he was honest about it instead of just accepting the excuse.
That's the moment you know they're not buying your lies anymore. Parenting level unlocked: accountability.
