When dealing with little children, often you have to pretend to be excited by something. Even when there’s nothing exciting.
Yesterday a 6 year old gave me a taste of their smoothie. It was made of lemons, oranges and milk. Curdled milk by the time I tried some. “Delicious!” I said. Why???!
To protect their feelings of course. To avoid destroying their confidence. To be friendly and build a relationship. To encourage any effort of creation. To not be a d**k!
That said, it was a complete lie. A well intentioned lie. But a lie.
It’s funny how often this happens with little children and adults.
