Well said. If you’re a little kid, and you break something, and your parents ask “Who broke that?” It is best to fess up. But kids being kids, they’ll still try and shift the blame. It’s easier to do if you have siblings.
If you’re an only child, the dog can only rake the fall for you do many times.
But there is a grain of truth in their Meir message. The worst thing you can ever do is lie to your parents.
That will give them more grief than you fighting, getting bad grades, or getting in trouble at school.
When I was 11, I found out the hard way how bad it was to lie to my folks. Eventually they’ll find out the truth, and you’ll get busted.
My punishment for lying was no tv, and no pool for a week. It was a hot summer, so that got me where I lived.
And they wouldn’t bend at all.
But it worked. I never got in trouble again.
My sister, however...
