The Struggle

So your baby is in a pickle.  He lost is DS case with all his games in Costa Rica.  And he has not told his dad.  I know if you were around you would smooth the blow with hugs, motivational speeches, and nightly talks on how you were the same way.
I'm trying my best to encourage him to be honest but this is very hard for him.  The struggle is real and I get it.  I know he needs to do this instead of spinning the web of lies when it comes to his DS games.  It's so hard for me not to say anything to his dad and to watch your baby go deeper and deeper into this secret. 
We went shopping this weekend and traveled to three different Game Stops to buy one of the lost games.  He thinks that if he finds all the games and the case he lost then his dad will not find out.  Is it my role to encourage him to be honest on his own or to hint at his dad to bring this out in the open?  I so wish you were here.  You would have the right things to say; I miss your compassion and wisdom.  It hurts because you know they are making a bad decision and also because we know he came by this honestly.
On a side note he did ask what I thought he should be when he grows up.  So, I think his dreams of being homeless and a bank robber have sailed away.
