Telling the Truth

You know when your parents used to (or still) say "if you tell the truth, I won't get mad" well, even then I knew that it wasn't true. They WILL get mad even if you tell the truth. The only reason they say that is because they KNOW you're not telling the truth (don't ask me how) and they are willing to cover up their anger to know what happened. So how ever old you are, don't do it, or don't fall for it. Because the main reason why kids lie is so that no one gets mad at them, and they don't have to face the consequences.
