“Never lie to a child about doctors or medicine or anything else; but if you feel, as some people seem to feel, that life without lying is an impossibility, at least don't lie about the amount of pain likely to result from a surgical procedure, or about the taste of some medicine.

You do not deserve trust, and you will not get it.” PeopleIfsKnowsFeelsChildrenMatterDoneSeemsPainLyingHurtResultsImagineAmountTasteDeserveDoctorsMedicineImagine ThatDeceivingImpossibilityMixturesProceduresYou AgainNever LieDon't Lie Book:The House and Home: A Practical Book Source: The House and Home: A Practical Book
