Here comes the lies

T told his first lie today. I told him to eat his lunch and while attending to some chores in the next room and noticed through the reflection in the mirror that instead of eating he was playing with a pen that was lying within arms rich on the table. Are you eating? I asked. Yes, he answered. Moments later, he heard my footsteps approaching. In the same mirror, I spied him dropping the pencil, pick up the spoon and pretend as if he as busy eating. Soon as I came into the room where he was, he looked up at me, smiled and without me asking, he said, I am eating! I could only feign a smile at the lie. Hopefully he doesn't make it a habit.
