Mom answered, "Live with it, Sweet Heart."
"Fine."
Eventually, Jackie got sick, and had to stay home. The next day, Jackie went back. Ms. Anne said, "Jackie, I heard you had a fever, yesterday."
"I actually had pneumonia." (Jackie actually just had a cold.)
Ms. Anne frowned. "I don't see how you recovered that quickly."
Jackie shrugged her shoulders. At lunch, Jackie thought, I'm sick of telling lies. I wish I didn't have that habit. Oh well.
And eventually, Jackie lied again. (No one is perfect.)
Parents ask kids...
1) Do you think your mom would let you stay home?
2) Do you wish you didn't lie?
