Something small children do

In today's NY Times:

Olivia Wilde: But I’ll ask my son, “Did you brush your teeth?” He’ll say, “Yeah.” And I’ll say: “You did not. I was standing right here.” 

It’s funny. Kids lie without any real strategy. That’s why Trump seems so much like a toddler sometimes. His tendency to lie when it’s clearly a lie is something small children do. They also bully and take toys from each other. It’s something you’re supposed to grow out of by the time you’re 70.
