Re: Words as magic vs bald faced lying
I think you handled it well.
Who amongst us tells the truth instantly when we know we've been caught doing something we shouldn't have been ? We avoid voice mails , we don't answer phones or we hit 'ignore' online , we ponder over what exactly to say... and eventually we get the courage to say "Yes. I messed up and this is what happened."
Your son came forward with the information. Maybe not when you wanted him to , but he did. No screaming , no punishing , no shaming , he came forward on his own. That's a good thing.
