Or is it better to give him a stern piece of advise in hopes that he learns that pullin' the wool over his buddys eyes can be done from time to time, but in the real world, it ain't gonna get him any where. It is better to speak the truth, only when you know the truth, then it is to beleive you know the truth and speak the un-truth.
I think OHbowhnter's advice was well spoken.
Telling a kid that he is going to be laughed at and mocked is good advice? Come on, you can't be serious.
NO WHERE is it ok to laugh at and mock a kid. I Can really see the maturity level with comments like this.
I think you both need to go back to grade school and learn a few things. NEVER laughing at or mocking other kids is right at the top of the list of things I'm teaching my young daughters at home.
