Tattling Toddlers

Yesterday, Dallin came upstairs crying, saying "Tyler" to Toby. Toby then asked Dallin, "Did Tyler hit you?" Dallin said, "Yeah" (between tears). Then Toby asked him, "Did he choke you?" and Dallin said "Yeah." Then Toby-"Did he poke your eyeballs out?" and again Dallin replied with a tearful, "Yeah." Then he said "Did he bite you in the butt?" and of course, his answer was, "Yeah" in his pouty voice, bottom lip out and all. Tyler came upstairs and we informed him of our little tattling toddler, and he just explained how "Dallin was a liar."

It taught us a valuable lesson because we have been after Tyler a lot lately for Dallin's tears, and half the time we don't even know what for. It's so easy to jump to the conclusion that it is the older sibling's fault, but how easy it is to be wrong! Dallin puts on a pretty good show!! Little monster! :)
