Thou Shalt Not

Just now I was sitting in our living room, folding laundry, when Topher came out of timeout. This is the conversation that followed.

Me: Topher, come talk to me.

Topher: I love you. There I talked to you.

Me: I love you too. That's not what we need to talk about.

Topher: I'm sorry.

Me: Sorry for what?

Topher: I'm sorry I said you said I could be on the iPad, even though you didn't.

Me: Which was a lie, you know that, right?

Topher: Yeah.

Me: And you know that lying's not okay, right?

Topher: Yeah.

Me: It's actually one of the ten commandments.

Topher: What?!

Me: Yep, thou shalt not lie.

Topher: (picking up three rolls of Bryan's socks) But they didn't say thou shalt not juggle!

And then he tried to juggle the socks.

I'm not sure that he got the message.
