Our Little Lainey has a BIG problem. She is a compulsive liar. If you point to one of her many bruises (she’s not only a liar, but also a klutz… see previous posts and you’ll see black eyes, stitches, etc)… anyways, if you point to one of her bruises and ask about it, Lainey will look around the room and throw someone under the bus. If Lakyn is there, she’ll say (in a fabricated whiny/painful tone) “Lakyn hit me.” And when you reply, “Lakyn didn’t hit you,” Lainey will look around for her next victim and then blame that person. In fact one day, when the sitter asked how she got a bruise on her leg, Lainey replied that her Dad threw a knife at her. Nice! By the way, we may need someone to bail us out of jail when we are falsely accused of child abuse because Lainey thinks it’s fine to be a big liar.
So the other day, Lainey overheard Jay say a curse word and decided to repeat it. (Backstory: Lakyn had rolled her eyes at Jay. Jay told her to stop being disrespectful. Lakyn said “I didn’t roll me eyes.” Jay replied “That’s Bullshit Lakyn, you did too.” Lainey overheard this, walked over to Lakyn and said “That’s Bullshit!” We all thought it was hilarious but had to turn away so as to not laugh in front of Lainey bird. Lainey, who loves to make people laugh, decided to say the word again in order to get a reaction, but she couldn’t remember what the funny word was so she looked at Lakyn a second time with as much passion as the first time and said “That’s Goldfish, Lakyn!”) So from now on if something is completely false… it’s Goldfish!
Then just yesterday we were all outside on the swingset and all of a sudden Lainey remembered that bad word. It was quite funny but the hilarious part happened when she told us who taught her the word. Of course, once again it was a lie. So to preface this video, I’d like to apologize in advance to my good friend Tammy.
(Oh and please ignore the ugly towel hanging on the swingset, it had rained and we needed to dry the swings. Also, Jay jumps in the background to see the top of the swingset to figure out why the swing appears to be crooked… I just thought I’d explain that he’s not totally insane. At least not this time, he’s not.)
Oh yeah, one more thing, Edward is our guinea pig and he doesn’t cuss.

Kids are natural born liars… I’m glad to know mine aren’t the only ones. My 3 year likes to blame the little boy I babysit, only he takes it a step further and tells me (with a straight face) I “need to put Kelby in a time-out” when I know for a fact HE”S the one that did it.
Loved the video, thanks for the laugh!
After watching Emma’s video last week and now this video this week, I’m learning that Matt and I are in big trouble when Grace is three.
I don’t know how you keep a serious face when that cute little face is telling you things that you know are not true, but she sounds so convincing. That Lainey is a cutie…no way you could be mad at her!
I’m with Shana – what’s up with Emma and Lainey and the tall tales! Hilarious! If only Emma had blamed Lainey for peeing in her room!
SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!
Lainey will make you a million dollars… mark my words. Either an actress or a lawyer. She’s very convincing!
That is hilarious!!! No wonder they’re such good buddies – they’re exactly alike! And do you know how excited Emma was to hear Lainey talk about her — even if it was a lie??
P.S. I love how Lakyn tried to throw you under the bus too.
this is the first time i saw this and it may be the funniest video yet! cooper needs to learn the blame game, he still just gets a sheepish look on his face whenever he does something totally bad!
