I don't know where in the DNA it's encoded but for some reason kids have this inate NEED to tattle. It's NEVER important....no one is ever in danger...it's about lame, insignificant details...usually to benefit themselves. It's also usually about someone their OWN age...not the tot...it's her mission to out me on almost everything.
Case and point:
I went and ate lunch with Casserole a few weeks ago...exiting the bathroom I see one of her classmates....
"Hi Lilly"
"How did you know my name?"
"I'm Taytum's mom...Becca"
"Oh, yeah!!! Taytum told me you swear at her"
"Oh...I don't...she made that up"
Fast Forward to Taytum getting home from school
"God dammit Taytum, why the hell did you tell Lilly I swear at you?!?!" Hahahaa kidding....but I did ask her why she told her friend that I swear at her...
"Because you do"
"Not everyday!"
Hahaa....make sure when your kid starts talking ....you enforce the "What happens at home stays at home" law...or I guess just don't swear at them...but good luck with that!

I'm Rubber...You're Glue
A fun part of having a school-age kid is getting to hear all the old sayings that WE used...and some new ones...and I must say...kids' creativity has gone to shit.
Case and Point:
"Mom, You're Cool"
"Preachin' to the choir Tot."
Pause: I usually send people Memorandums notifying them that I'm cool sooooo I was a little surprised she didn't KNOW this already--especially since she has her own EMAIL ADDRESS!!!...public school systems have gotten better with teaching technology earlier--I don't remember learning how to turn on a computer until 4th grade when I rocked the hell out of some Oregon Trail.
UnPause:
"Noooooo....You're C.O.O.L....Constipated, Overgrown, Oversized, Loser!!!!"
"Hmmm....that's lame....Overgrown and Oversized sorta mean the same thing....back to the drawing board TODD (Read "I'm right you're wrong if you haven't already").
