Children are brutally honest.

We all know it.

We were all kids at one point and experienced the honest opinion of children.

And those of us who have kids are reminded of that honest when the teacher learns you fed your kid pizza for breakfast.

Given the blunt, say-anything reality in which children live, why would anyone plan a hoax centered around a 6-year-old child?

I watched TV right along with a lot of the nation as the silver balloon floated high above the ground last week. Many of us gasped when searchers looked inside the box and there was no little boy inside.

A search ensued, and and he was found OK at home. Now we’re being told it was all a hoax.

I don’t pretend to know the facts in the case, but this I know.

If you’re going to do something stupid, do it at your own risk. Don’t involve the kids. Everyone pays attention when children are involved, and kids can’t keep secrets.
