APPEALS TO: SOME
Bob is an adventurous young bird, but his brother Dob is always telling on him to their mother. Mother tells Dob to stop tattling on Bob, but when Bob flies off and gets into real trouble, Dob’s story skills are needed to rescue him.
I’m torn in my feelings about this - when a child does something dangerous or breaks something, a parent wants to know. But also, a little sibling who tells a parent about every slight infraction becomes annoying really fast. I don’t think we want to teach children to lie for each other or to cover up a real problem. Plus Bob needed to learn to tell the truth when he broke that vase. I think this sends the wrong message.
