LOL...It only took me a couple of times, getting caught telling whopper lies..and suffering the consequences, for me to realize how much easier it is to tell the truth..
I never could understand how my Mother and Father would “find out”....but, now that I am a Mom, I know it is the 6th sense that comes with being a Mom..and my kids, even today, in their late 20’s, are amazed when I catch them in “lies”.
NOW..they don’t really LIE, per se....it is one of those things where my son calls and says, “Hi Mom...how is everything going?”
And I say, “Fine, so what’s up?”...and he says, “Oh, nothing...just thought I would call”....
Now..I COULD stop the conversation right there..KNOWING that there really IS something he is calling about...but, I play along.
“Oh, well...not much going on here...just hanging out on my favorite website with my Freeper friends....how is kaybugs...she wouldn’t be just dying to spend the night with her ole Nama, would she?”
“LOL...MOM, why do you ask that? okay...yes, can you babysit tonight?”
I have had that same conversation a HUNDRED times..and they never, ever admit that they are calling for a reason...LOL
It’s like being able to look at them and say they should go take a bed and get some sleep because they’re getting sick...
Some things you can just tell.
