Gabby Asks: Does Lawyer Mean Liar?

Kids ask the most amusing questions and they don't even know it. A few nights ago, Gabby was asking me whether lawyer means liar. I burst out laughing when I heard the question. I laughed so hard that Gabby looked at me with puzzled exasperation.

I couldn't contain my amusement. I texted a friend, a lawyer, about it. He too was amused and asked me how I answered it. I told him I had to control myself and answer her YES! Lawyer and liar are synonyms. But out of the fondness for my friend, I didn't! I then proceeded to explain to her what lawyers do. 

But to this day, I must say that her question really brings a smile to my face.
