I got that story when I was around 9.
LOL...there is something just horribly wrong about that, but at the same time, I kind of get it.
That’s a tough one. I try not to hold it against my brother, but it goes against my nature to tell a lie like that one. I know he wasn’t doing it to make his job easier...he was doing it, I am sure, to soften the blow for the young ones.
