I always thought Isabel knew the concept of lies... Until last night.

I received a complain from my lovely wife that she got too "physical" with the maid. So I asked her:

"Bel... Did you hit Auntie Yani?"

"No"

"Really?"

*Nod-head*

I thought for a while then gave a simple example of what lies mean, then I sternly said: "God don't like people to tell lies!"... then I waited a while before I asked again:

"Now, did you hit Auntie Yani?'

..."Yes..." Then she buried her face in the pillow crying.

I didn't punish her, but instead encouraged her to tell the truth...always.
