How could you get stern with this cute little face?

In this video, posted on YouTube during the week, this cheeky three-year-old denies telling his mum that he found - and ate - the secret stash of sprinkles, even though he has been caught red-handed. It's lucky he's so cute or he could be in big trouble!

As his mum said in the video footage: "He has an amazing imagination and loves to tell us stories. I saw this as a sweet moment, something that every child goes through, where they try to push the boundaries to see how far they can go."

She added that when she stopped filming they had a good talk about the difference between truth and lies, and that he seems to be getting the message.
