At JD's school, they have a system in their class. Green is good, yellow is okay, red is bad. For the longest time, JD was getting a green after green. I was so excited thinking my little guy was perfect angel at school. One day Reed asked me how I knew that JD got a green for sure. I looked at him with a shocked face and said, "Cause JD would tell me if he got a different color. He wouldn't lie to me."
Well, about a week after Reed mentioned that, JD told me he got a green at school. I was excited, as I always was. Well, I was told that he actually got a yellow, and the day before he had received a RED!! Where both he had told me he had gotten a green! I was more upset with the fact that he lied to me about it. When I confronted him about it, he kept insisting that he had a green but eventually broke down crying and told me what he really got.
My heart was just broken with the thought of my little boy lying to me. I'm sure it wasn't the first time that he lied to me, nor will it be the last. But the thought that he did just keeps nagging at me and I don't know what to do about it. I love my little boy and want him to make the right decisions. I'm sure this post seems little and petty, but it's a big deal to me. So, now I am trying to find ways to get it through to him and lying isn't good and how it makes other people feel when you do. Hopefully, we find a way that works.
