the honesty of a 5 year old

Yesterday while I was in the midst of making dinner and getting everyone ready to head out the door to a basketball game, Annie started to cry(as usual, that is her fussy time) so I walked over to her swing to pick her up turning my back on the kitchen cabinets. As I was bent down unbuckling her and talking to her I heard my silverware drawer open slowly and close slowly. I turned to see my 5 year old, Emma, walking out of the kitchen so I yell "freeze(pause for dramatic effect) what do you have?" From behind her back she pulls out a medicine dropper. So I ask what are you doing with that, she says we want to play doctor with the dog. This is a common occurrence around here, they play animal doctor all the time and often use measuring spoons or medicine droppers to pretend to care for the animals and I had already heard them talking about how they were planning to play animal doctor. I then ask her, well why did you sneak the medicine cup? She replies without a thought..."well because I didn't think you would notice" How is that for honesty? Ultimately I took the medicine cup away for her sneakiness but I had to hold my laughter until she left the room.
