- On Twitter, Chrissy Teigen revealed a genius—and very funny—parenting trick she uses with her son, Miles.
- Miles is currently enamored of Cars character Lightning McQueen, she shared.
- "I just tell miles to eat his lunch because it’s lightning mcqueen’s favorite and he does it," Teigen tweeted.
When my childhood best friend and I were around 8, her baby brother pledged his every waking hour to bothering us, which made it very difficult to perfect our *NSYNC choreography. As a result, we developed the cruel but effective technique of telling him Bob the Builder had just arrived downstairs and was extremely excited to meet him, which, being a preschooler, he believed 100% of the time. And I have felt gently guilty for repeatedly setting him up for crushing disappointment ever since!
The point of that anecdote is that Chrissy Teigen recently revealed she employs a similar trick with her son, Miles, which has relieved me of some of my lingering guilt. "I love when kids are beyond obsessed with something. It makes life so much easier," she tweeted. "I just tell miles to eat his lunch because it’s lightning mcqueen’s favorite and he does it. He does whatever lightning mcqueen says, always." And just like that I am unburdened! Turns out lying to kids is both fine and often necessary!
