[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you should become a "white lie" family. This is the TEXTBOOK CASE of when it is appropriate and kind to use a little white lie. Your friend wants to do something nice and thoughtful for your son. You want your friend to feel good by giving your son a gift. Your son actually WANTS what she is giving him. But you think your friend specifically wants to give him something he hasn't read and when she asked you, he hadn't... but now he has. Just a omission. No need to be fully upfront with the bald faced truth. Just tell your son to say "Wow, thanks so much! I'll love these!" It's not a lie, it's tact. It's manners. It's PERFECTLY FINE. The gears of society are greased by the oil of etiquette.[/quote]
