They speak the truth

Leave it to a kindergartener to call you out on things you'd rather not have announced. I had a little guy in my office after he got sick in the cafeteria, and as I was getting a headache myself, I reached into my purse to take some ibuprofen. He said, "I don't take pills, and if I do, I have to take water with it." Trying not to draw attention to the fact that I carry medicine, I kept my own pills enclosed in my hands. I took a swig of water as I (I thought) slyly swallowed my headache relief while agreeing with him that you should drink water when taking pills. Loudly, as all kindergarteners speak, he exclaimed, "I just saw you take a pill!" just as a teacher was walking in to use the laminating machine. Thanks, kid.
