We all have our "dumb" moments, if I was with someone who made me afraid of my next dumb moment, I wouldn't be very happy in general. I left those days of being fearful behind when I became an adult, the truth shall set you (them) free!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23550078.post-87048916693520067672007-01-17T00:43:00.000-06:002007-01-17T00:43:00.000-06:00d, fin and terrie,

I, too, recommended she tell the truth to her husband.<br />In the end, she did tell 95% of the truth, but modified the context a bit to seem less careless.<br />At the moment I think they're accepting the situation.<br />I'm sure when he sees the damage as well as the estimate for repair they may have an interesting conversation again.<br />Regards,<br />makingourwaymakingourwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748811641577990850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23550078.post-79122712077555695642007-01-17T00:02:00.000-06:002007-01-17T00:02:00.000-06:00The best thing to do is to always tell the truth. ...The best thing to do is to always tell the truth. Embellishing or lying is never good and in some cases could create more problems.<br /><br />Situations like these are teachable moments for our children. If we tell them to tell the truth and not lie, then what are we obligated to do?<br /><br />Honesty is not the best policy, it is the only policy!Terry Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14585501399585695282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23550078.post-87393046526291576052007-01-16T21:04:00.000-06:002007-01-16T21:04:00.000-06:00We're all human.
