A Little White Lie.

     I was talking with a friend on saturday and we were talking about Whte Lies.
He said that it shouldn't matter if we are embarrassed ny our mistake or upset or whatever, it should be the reason to lie. A lot of people think that just because its a little lie its not bad, but any little lie can get out of hand, and soon you will be lying about big things.

     Example:
  My dad asks the kids who took a tool of his out. Lets just say I did it and I say no, my bro did it. When for a fact I knew it was me. But its just a White Lie right?
Next week you leave a super expensive tool out in the rain, and your dad asks you again and yet again you say it wasn't you. And soon you can hear your sister crying and get grounded for leaving it out, but you know she didnt do it.

    If we keep white lies up then you will start lying without even noticing it.

    Its the same with bending the truth. Say you get in a fight with someone, and your telling someone and you're like "Well she said that my mom was stupid!! and then she pulled my hair!!" when in fact she might have just yelled and yeah she might have saud that about your mom, but she didnt touch your hair. You are lying.
   Just like when I am talling a story and I add a line or say something just a little off.

   When I was 10 I was joking around with my mom and I told her I had kissed this boy I liked (thinking she wouldn'd care, or could tell it was a joke.) Well she called my aunt and told her, and she was wanting me to tell her all the details, so I came up with a story. But that night I couldn't sleep because I had lied and it spread out of control. That next morning I wote a note to my mom and told her what had happened and that I didnt think it would have gotten so big. I was sooo upset, and my mom was a little too, because she had believed me. I dont think I have ever felt so bad.

    At my house lying is the biggest crime in the world, if you lie you could be grounded from everything for weeks, or she wont talk to you for days. But I love my mom and she had tought us that being honest is the best thing ever. And I love her for that. She has tought me to be pure in heart.

(Now don't go around telling people that their pants make their butts look big, thats just mean. :D )
