the adult five year old

i try
logic on her,
introducing rational thought
into the argument,
our
daily disagreement.
lies are not good,
i tell her,
lying is betrayal,
but she says i only
lie to you,
so that you don't get hurt
in knowing
what i'm up to.
so my lying is a good
thing, don't you see?
you should be thankful
i'm a liar.
what you don't know
can't hurt you.
