It happened just after the Halloween party at Louis’ nursery in Edinburgh. As they were about to go home, Louis spotted a bike that he liked so he took it home with him even though it wasn’t his.
But his caper was cut short when his grandma, Tracey Paterson, confronted him about the sudden appearance of a bike.
Instead of coming clean about it, Louis insisted that the bike was his and that his mom bought it from Amazon. Granny wasn’t buying any of it, however.
Louis’ mother, 23-year-old Shannon Turnbull, said: “I think Louis took the bike because we’ve been looking on Amazon recently trying to find a bike similar that he would like from Santa.
“Louis is not a criminal just a little chancer. The bike belongs to one of his little friends in his nursery class and we have spoken to the nursery about this and they said it’s happened a lot and the bike will be returned when Louis returns to nursery.
“I found the video hilarious and I knew my friends would, that’s why I shared it on my social media.
“Louis is such a funny character and he’s always coming out with stuff that has the whole family in hysterics.”
Children can lie for many reasons, whether it’s to get attention or to cover up something so they don’t get into trouble. They can start lying by the age of three but it’s usually more common between the ages of four and six.
Whatever the case, it’s important for the family to gently but firmly let the child know that lying is not okay and to create an environment that encourages them to tell the truth. Chief among this, of course, is through the example of the parents. If they’re honest, then chances are this habit will also rub off on the child.
