Points For Creativity

So even after all the shenanigans from the previous night, The Bandit was very busy at Day Care.  I received a call from the Director that went like this:

Director: Will you please talk to The Bandit.  He’s not listening and every time we try to discipline him, he laughs at us.  (I know this scenario well).  By the way, were you on vacation for the last week or so?

 Me: No.  Why do you ask?

 D: For the last week, every time The Bandit gets in trouble, he says, ‘I can do anything I want and not get into trouble because my mom’s on vacation so you can’t call her.’ “

 Of course, for whatever reason they also didn’t call his father either.  When My Honey picked him up from school, no one asked him or told him anything, and the Director often wasn’t around to talk with anyway. 

Which is more remarkable?  The teacher that believed the four year old, or the four year old for coming up with the pretty creative lie?
