This is another anecdote about my son who was five years old when this happened.
My children and I attended the birthday party of a neighbor, a corpulent woman in her late 40's.
The birthday celebrator put my son on the spot when she asked, "Do you find me sexy?"
Several visitors heard her, and waited for my son's reply.
My son who was embarassed, hesitatingly replied, "Isn't it a sin to tell a lie?"

A Filipino bachelor's blast from the past #I
This happened about a decade ago when I wasn't yet a legally-recycled bachelor.
It was the 90th birthday of my paternal grandmother [My grandmother lived until she was 98. She died last December]. My three year old son wanted to try Coke.
Not wanting him to start craving for soft drinks, I went to the kitchen, got a warm bottle of Coke, opened it, inserted a straw and let my son take a sip.
Wonder of wonders! He didn't like the taste.
So, I was quite happy with my quick-thinking self when turned to return the bottle of Coke in the kitchen.
After a step, I heard my father tell my son, "Here, try a cold one."
