"Not today I didn't"

When you were little did you ever get lie bumps? Do you know what that is?? Might just be a crazy story my family made up to keep us honest - nice I know. Well today I continued the tradition with my daughter - so proud yes yes. Grace comes into the kitchen and pulls down her lip and shows me a sore - think she bit it while eating a few days ago but she does not remember this event hence the story. SO I look at it and seize the moment to explain that when we are not truthful sometimes we get bumps in our mouths. To this Grace asks - "What's it called?" I tell her it's just a "Lie Bump" and it should go away soon - don't touch it - pull on it etc. So then she wants to know how it got there - I smile a small smile remembering when this was done to me - hey I turned out fine right??! And I say "well you get it when you lie or dont tell the truth. Did you lie about anything?"
To which my daughter replys ....."Well not today I didnt!"
Ah the honesty of a 5 year old!!
