Stunned, she tried to brush off his question. "I bit myself accidentally… while eating."
He gave her an incredulous look.
"Mommy, how in the world did you manage to bite the corner of your lips?"
Oh, please… can you give a more credible lie? She was really treating him as a six-year-old kid.
On second thought, he was indeed only six years old.
She was embarrassed that her son had seen through her lie and quickly said, "It was really caused by a bite!"
She was not the one who had bitten her lips, though.
His sense of discretion was as sharp as his father's. He looked at her through narrowed eyes and asked, "Who bit you?"
She thought of that man and her head hurt. The father and son were so alike in this way.
She chuckled dryly. "I bit myself by accident!"
He did not press the issue further and, instead, said with a pout, "Mommy, you have to tell me when someone is bullying you. Youyou will protect mommy!"
