Yet another reason to be glad not to have children

Because they're inherently evil*

Toddlers who tell lies early on are more likely to do well later, researchers claim.

The complex brain processes involved in formulating a lie are an indicator of a child's early intelligence, they add.


*I kid (sort of).

Somebody paid real Canadian dollars for this study. Somebody without kids.

My daughter, the corporate CEO! She's great at "interpreting reality" to fit her goals and needs. "Who left these Groovy Girl dolls all over the living room?" "Joe did it." Also, she'll tell me mom said she could do something, and then tell mom I said it was OK. Better to ask forgiveness than permission, right?
