Kids tell the truth

We were at a wedding lunch earlier and met many of ipapa's relatives. One of them is pretty famous (in the business world). The husband could not attend the lunch, so the wife brought the kids along. There was a conversation between the wife and another relative which I overheard shortly after the lunch has just started: Wife: Oh, sorry, we have to go off already. Relative: Oh, so soon? The lunch has just started. Wife: We have to go as my daughter has tuition later. Just at this moment, the daughter turned to her mum and said loudly "Mummy, I got tuition meh?" Upon hearing the daughter's comment, I giggled. It is so obvious that the mum just wanted to get out of the lunch, hence she used her daughter as an excuse. Little does she know that her own daughter would play her out and embarrass her. Well, perhaps the relative was so engrossed in the conversation that she didn't catch the lie and let the wife go. Through this, I learnt a lesson. Kids tell the truth. If you wish to lie, do it discreetly. :-)
