One of dds pals was here for tea yesterday, and almost everything she said was false. For eg, I have an iPod, so does this child, DD asked, 'do you have xxx game' pal said 'yes'. When I asked her a question about it it was obvious she doesn't have it, and then when i asked another she said 'oh my version doesn't have that, when in fact all versions do.
She lied about several other things, after the first lie I asked her questions about several of the things she said and it was obvious that almost all she came out with was fabricated.
now DD is not an angel, and I know she lies occasionally, but I just can't understand this child lying at this level. We've known her for years, and she's always been a bit prone to it, but it was honestly almost everything she said. I just wonder why and how common it is in your experience at this age??
