When my childhood best friend and I were about eight years old, her baby brother had sworn to spend every waking moment bothering us. As a result, we developed a cruel but effective technique where Bob the Builder would come just downstairs and tell us how much we were looking forward to seeing him. Since then I have felt mildly guilty for repeatedly disappointing him.

The point of this anecdote is that Chrissy Teigen recently revealed that she uses a similar trick with her son Miles. 'I love it when my kids get into something. Makes life so much easier,' she tweeted. 'I just tell Miles to eat his lunch because he's Lightning McQueen's favorite and he does just that. He does whatever Lightning McQueen says, always." Thus I had a weight off my shoulders! Lying to children is fine and often necessary!

In other Teigen news, she recently asked teachers to send her an Amazon wish list (opens in new tab) so she could buy them school supplies. After receiving thousands of responses, she tweeted. 'I cleared all 50 lists today and bought countless extra things from nice people just passing by. I plan to do more this week and will focus on districts that are struggling and need extra help." In response to this tweet, "I want to help teachers who need school supplies," here are some of the responses to this tweet.
