Judgmental Children

QUOTE
"Daddy, why are you writing in your Bible?"
My son's eyes widened as he looked at the black squiggles in the margins of my Bible. His question was sincere. After all, when you're six years old, and you've been taught not to scribble in the Bible, it can be alarming to behold—in permanent ink—the evidence that your father has transgressed this law.
UNQUOTE

Children are judgmental. The younger the child are, the more judgmental the child will be. Not on purpose, but for the lack of experience and for looking at things in a black and white manner. They are not forgiving.

I obey the law! I am good! Perfect Peter is at work! But those who cannot obey are great sinners!

Horrid Henry would have accused the parent as hypocritical and used that excuse to break more law.
