Oh, I meant that a lot of things children say really are true, especially about relationships and reality in general. I would agree that gradually, over time, they need to be taught how not to say the truth ONLY when it will hurt someone else's feelings. There is a recent study that shows adults lie over a hundred times per day. Just to survive in this world at the end of the twentieth century, get along well with bosses and coworkers, and to be sensitive about people who look or act different, it would be impossible to tell the truth all the time. Lying maliciously is a different subject, of course. Children act like little Buddhas or something in the freshness of their observations sometimes. Aunt Helen will just have to take a loss once in awhile, in the spirit of not quenching entirely their wonderful remarks on life.
